He did have two fairly productive years in Texas. It's not as if he was a slouch with the Yankees, though, so it's a matter of whether you believe those seasons were a product of the ballpark, Jaramillo's coaching, neither, both or "other." soriano's 2 years in texas were sandwiched by 2 much better years before he went there (02-03) and 3 much better seasons right after he left (06-08). during that 7 year stretch, his 2 years with the rangers were by far the worst 2. that could be because he wasn't batting leadoff during that time, though.
