Really? Maybe the routes he runs in LF arent the prettiest but he sure does gun down runners at the plate and can gun people trying to leg out a double really well. I though all his assist last year might of been a fluke. I dont see it that way anymore. I'd say his fielding and arm pretty much offset each other to the point that he's okay in LF. Very good? No. That little freakin hop he does before every catch is gonna give me a heartattack. He is just ok. Great arm, decent range, but not what it should be for his speed. Strong arm. ACCURATE arm. Maybe not the range it should be. But what is his fielding percentage in LF so far this year? And how many catches can you count up that you thought he SHOULD have gotten? I didn't notice too many myself. But I'm just an average cubs fan that just watches the game. Adding to that, if you've got Soriano in LF (GOOD) and Pie in CF (GREAT) I think you can focus on getting a really good RF at the deadline or offseason. And that would be a very good outfeild, much improved defensively than we had shuffling everyone around earlier this year. And the thing is, if he's just average in LF, how much worse will he be in the supposedly hard to play wrigely RF? He has missed 2 balls that I thought he should have gotten to. And I have seen about half the games. I thought he looked more comfortable in CF personally. Either way, his defense has not been a problem. I haven't been able to watch a bunch of Cubs games since I don't get CSN for some stupid reason, but when I was watching, Soriano did not look that comfortable in CF. Right after they switched him, he looked a lot more comfortable.
