IMHO, it makes the most sense to play Soriano some at 2B until Fox's bat cools off. Of course, I'm the one who still has no idea why they haven't played Derrek Lee in the OF some.
It would last about 5 minutes. They did pay money to get an exclusive WWE show recently, so they do have bit more original programming than they used to.

He was hitting over .300 in 2003 before he ran into Marcus Giles... didn't seem to try that hard at hitting after that but he was a superb hitting pitcher before then.
I'm happy with this, he was an ideal leadoff-type guy for the Reds when he was healthy. Can play a bunch of positions, so he's more valuable than Gathright.
Weird hearing ESPN drinking the OPS kool-aid (even though Miller and Morgan still don't seem to understand it fully, like it's some kind of voodoo number).
USA Today has the payroll as $134,809,000, but that's just the active 25-man roster + IR http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/2009-04-05-Salaries_N.htm http://content.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/salaries/teamdetail.aspx?year=2009&team=17
Fukudome up now This Cuban kid (Chapman)'s pick-off move is sick, picked off two guys in a row that he walked. He has a huge slow leg kick so they thought they could run all day on him.
Japan v.s. Cuba on now, should be a great game. Dice-K going against a kid from Cuba who's a lefty and supposedly hit 102 mph on the gun down in Cuba. :shock:
