I love the guy, I really do, but he could never be my favorite Cubs because of the Jekyl and Hyde at bats he puts out there. Sometimes he looks just plain awful and its in the same games where he'll hit a huge walk off 3 run homer. There's not a player ever who doesn't at times look "just plain awful." Hmm oh yes he has the same ratio of good to bad plate appearances as Ramirez, Lee and Fukudome I forgot I gotta agree. When Soriano is hot, he's hotter than 90% of baseball players can get at their hottest. But when he's cold, he sure feels worse than 50 to 60% of baseball players at their coldest.
