Alfonso Soriano 4th ever to get 40/40

[Cocos Disciples]

Everybody said he couldn't do well in Washington, his success was due to the Texas park.

This guy is a good baseball player. There is no argument. He makes things happen, he's exciting, and he has massive pop. He swings at everything, but apparently, he hits everything too.

Except for Kyle Snyder's curve

I don't feel like digging up the thread, but before the season started I told you guys he was really good and his talent wasn't just because of the park in Texas. Some of you were comparing Mark Loretta and Trot Nixon to him...

The funny thing is if you look at his stats more closely his numbers were actually down with Texas from his years with the Yankees and now the Nats. `

I'll admit, I thought he'd struggle in that park considering his road split from last year. He's definitely earned himself a big payday going into FA for the first time.

[Cocos Disciples]

Someone will pay 15-20 mil, 6 years IMO. Outfielder/2nd base, tremendous power, tremendous speed, young.

Eh, I'm not sure it will go that high. That's probably what he gets in the '99-'01 market. I know who will most likely land him though. Los Mets. They will have the coin and need a 2B. Minaya will be going bonkers at the thought of a Wright, Reyes, and Soriano infield for the next half-decade.

Delgado

Wright

Floyd

Lo Duca

Wow.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

The Mets are pretty much an AL team in the NL right now.

Wow.

How long is Floyd under contract for? I don't think the Mets are looking to keep him on.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

I think Floyd is done after this season.

[Ray10]

No doubt that he's a great ballplayer. And he's now accomplished an amazing record in baseball. He's been solid from the time he broke into the league and he keeps getting better every year he plays.

big time roider, hes juicin

[Papelbon58]

good for Soriano, not just for this, but for staying positive in Washington and helping the franchise. I would really be impressed if he re-signed with them. Loyalty is underrated

[schillingouttheks]

If we can get Soriano, get him. I don't care if Pedroia's coming up. If Pedroia can be half as good as Soriano I'd be happy.
