If the Cubs benched Soto, when will it be Soriano's turn?

I hope it's soon. Honestly, what's the point of playing him now? We aren't getting in the playoffs. He's not going to heal over night, so putting him out there isn't really helping.

Maybe the knee has been a large factor in his terrible season, I like the fact he's undergoing the surgery shortly. Hopefully, the plan is to shut him down, send him to surgery and send him home to begin preparing for next season. I'd be willing to give a 100% Soriano another shot but, I'd also have another solid option if he doesn't show anything within the first two months of 2010.
