That's why when he was traded to Washington he agreed to switch from 2B to LF, no? Good call, its the Cubs preventing him from playing that position, although he's Weeksian at 2B. I have heard he refuses to play CF now, though. Based on what? All of his public comments (and comments about him from the organization) is that he'll play and hit wherever the team tells him to. I haven't heard any kind of source, leaked or otherwise, indicating anything else. Then you haven't been paying close enough attention to wrigley23's posts. No kidding. Soriano has his obvious flaws, but some people seem to love adding on things they've completely made up or assumed.
