A-Rod in Pinstripes

Soriano is a 2ndbaseman in name only.He wasnt even decent in the field and might not have stayed at 2nd past this season.There was talk last year of moving him to the outfield where he could do less harm ala Chuck Knoblauch.

Hes a good player with an extremely poor strike zone but he doesnt perform well under pressure.This past postseason should stick out in that hes been there before.Hes got power and speed and hes young but if he has a tremendous season in Texas it doesnt mean he wouldve done it with the Yankees and he would also have to do it without the crazy offense thats been around him his whole career.
Soriano seems like he had more personal goals than team goals,like when he was going for 40/40 and he couldnt hit a homer in the last 2 weeks despite going for the fences on every swing.Arod in that lineup should be fun to watch if youre a Yankee fan.Me,im a Pirates fan for life and ill have to be content hoping for a .500 record
