Soriano Sets Arbitration Record

[redsoxrules]

OFFENSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The Nationals might think Vidro is a better DEFENSIVE 2B, which I, and everyone agrees with. But you dont seem to understand that I said Soriano was the best all around OFFENSIVE second baseman. (Meaning he can hit for power, contact, steal bases, etc.).

 

contact hitter?? havent you noticed that he strikes out alot , especially in the post season(1 in 3.2 plate apperances)

[26 to 6]

what I meant by that was that he can makd contact and whatnot, spray the ball around a little. Granted, he has wayy too many K's to be considered a contact hitter. Bad post on my part.

here is my 2 cents:

 

soriano is the most overrated player in baseball right now. if anyone thinks he's an offensive threat they should check out his home/away splits, they are god awful. he thrives in arlington because it's a kids park. i'm willing to bet he hits less than 18 hr's this year with an obp of less than .310 again. 10 mill a season for that? the nationals are by far the dumbest team this offseason..

p.s.- he's not a contact hitter, the guy batted .268 last season. now that he's out of arlington and doesn't have the good texas lineup behind him i also predict he scores less than 90 runs.. basically decrease in every single category.

those are his home away splits for 2005. he batted .224 outside of arlington.. this guy is garbage and it's pathetic the nationals have a moron for a gm.

How do you arrive at 10 million for a guy who can't field, can't throw, can't hit for contact, can't walk, and can't get on base.
