Except that when he actually faces someone on the mound better than a cardboard cutout (as in the playoffs the last two seasons) he is inept at leading off, hitting homeruns, and pretty much anything else offensively... Soriano smells like a rose when he swings at the first two pitches of an AB. He bats .375-.400 in his CAREER when he puts the ball in play in those situations. He's a fastball hitter and does everything AGAINST the theories of what a leadoff hitter should do... He's a great stat padder, but when the game is on the line, and he has two strikes on him, he will FAIL because he refuses to adjust and play the team game. 3-28 with a solitary walk in the last two playoff series is ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW... .107/.138/.245 0HR 0RBI Now post Aramis' numbers in the last 2 postseasons hint: they're worse than Soriano's

I would have to disagree. The difference between Soriano hitting a solo homer or a 3-run home can be the difference between winning and losing a close game. And if your leadoff man gets on base an extra time or two, that can be the difference in a close game, as well. Not to mention, considering our pitching, most of our games are pretty close. so batting 1st in the batting order prevents you from hitting 3 run homers?

Strike zone was suddenly shins to chin and 3 feet wide in that at-bat

when Jeff Baker clears the bases on you, it may be time to hang it up

Triple Play anyone?

No, I sure don't. Probably a good idea.......you'd need some anti-depressants

Cathedrals of the Game is on MLBN right now and is focusing on PNC Park. I'll be flipping back and forth I think...

I wasn't aware of the Red Sox having a glaring need at 1B. Would the plan be to play Youk at 3rd and just give up on Lowell?

Congratulations.....you're officially one of "those people"

I'm working on the Cardinals '06 theory, where the fewer wins the Cubs manage to win the division with, the better their chances in the playoffs

This is like Rocky IV, only Ted Williams is Rocky, working out in the mountains, dragging hay bales through the snow, and doing upside down sit ups in a barn, and Albert Pujols is Ivan Drago, working in a state-of-the-art Soviet training facility. I think we know how this movie ends....
