Arroyo For Soriano

[MANNYHOF24]

Texas gets: Shopach,Arroyo, Cora

Boston Gets: Soriano

 

I would only do this if Manny was to be traded. We would need another bat in the lineup, i dont think the lineup would be good enough to hide Pedrioa as an everyday player without the likes of Ramirez. Texas needs pitching and Arroyo would be a good fit, plus Texas has said they would like to deal Soriano. Wihtout the need for Bronson in the rotation anymore, i think this would be a good fit.

As I have said in other topics, I really am not a Soriano fan. I think his lack of plate discipline, poor glove, and declining batting averages over the last three years all point to him having a very poor 2006 season, and I don't want him to do that as a Red Sox. This would be, however, a steal even if Soriano doesn't have that great of a year, as Arroyo has become expendable, Shoppach's future doesn't seem all too bright, and Cora, while serviceable, comes no where near a Soriano mediocre year. Even with my reservations about Soriano, I would do this trade in a heartbeat, but I doubt Texas will trade Soriano for anything less than Clement and a prospect, maybe even Lester, which I would not eve consider.
