[WilliamPitt]

Hmmmm...

[Warren Stupidity]

1. gack. nt

[Mojambo]

2. Would they put Soriano in the OF?

Because he's a pretty terrible infielder.

[WilliamPitt]

3. Probably

[OneBlueSky]

16. Soriano has made it clear repeatedly -- to the Rangers AND . . .

to the Yankees -- that there's no way in hell that he will play the outfield . . . case closed . . .

4. Dumb deal for the Sox if they do it.....

Soriano is a terrible fielder, he's not a young buck anymore (rumored to be 29), he's going to be very expensive with arbitration and then he eligible for free agency etc etc.

[Zorbuddha]

6. He's not the best infielder, but he's not that bad.

He's a phenom, and might shine in CF.

He won't sign for peanuts.

[Zorbuddha]

5. Texas can't handle Manny's contract. Sox would make out like bandits

unless they foot half the bill.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

7. Soriano is more erratic than Manny. Not a good deal IMO.

[Reverend_Smitty]
