Why? I've been against his signing from day 1 and he has not yet proven me wrong for thinking like this. The great news is, we should see a steady decline in his currently overall slightly above average play for the next 6 years. For the record, I would probably take 50% of the outfielders in baseball over Soriano. If you include salary in the discussion, that would bump up to like 80%. he only lead the team in HR and SLG last year. what a bum. he's not great, but it's not like he's Juan Pierre out there
