What would you do with Alfonso Soriano?

[CODE_BLUE56]

Trade him to the O's for Brian Roberts makes the most sense. It'd be funny if we actually got Roberts for him....

actually thats not a terrible trade idea

problem is even with robert's injury issues(or whatever the hell was wrong with him..something about a concussion)..i dont know if soriano is valuable enough for a straight up trade

soriano would be the LF for the orioles...right? doubt he'll be a DH when they have guerrero in that spot

 

[waldo7239117]

Yeah Phil Rogers brought up the Roberts for Fonzie deal.

He would be the DH... with some playing time in the OF.

 

[waldo7239117]

Do they even have VLAD? I don't see that.

 

[CODE_BLUE56]

Do they even have VLAD? I don't see that.

i thought they did...is he a FA? did he sign somewhere?

 

[Rice Cube]

i thought they did...is he a FA? did he sign somewhere?

I think he's still unsigned.

 

[CODE_BLUE56]

I think he's still unsigned.

ah ok in that case soriano would be the DH and play some OF..waldo's right

unless vlad's resigned by the o's

 

[waldo7239117]

I think he's still unsigned.

Yes, that's what I got.

 

[ZDemp34]

Brian Roberts? Finally? I sure hope so....the Cubs have been trying to get him for years...

 

[Rice Cube]

It's a Phil Rogers rumor, there's about a 95% chance that he's wrong :lol:

Oh...well since his contract goes through 2014, we could get him at the deadline that year should we be contending by then, but I'm thinking WAY too far in advance :lol:

 

[Jntg4]

Ummm... give him severe amnesia so he won't remember that we owe him money and he'll aimlessly search for home.

 

[Captain Obvious]

Roberts is likely still not playing anywhere near 100% because of the concussion. He's going to suck. But he has upside and costs half of what Soriano costs. Therefore Roberts > Soriano.

 

[Shawon0Meter]

Keep him and play him until some team is willing to to trade for him and 50% of his contract.

This.

And it seems like an unlikely scenario so let's just keep him. Paying 90% of Z's contract to play somewhere else for one season is one thing but no way for 3 years.

How does it make sense to keep Soriano when he isn't even one of our top 5 OFers? Byrd, DeJesus, Jackson, Johnson, and Sappellt are all better than Soriano. Soriano sucks, as much as I hate to say it because he is one of my favorite players of all-time. He needs to go in the worst way possible.

 

[brett05]

You mean defensively. Offensively he's the Cubs best of, maybe even on the entire team

It's early, but this is the clubhouse leader for post of the year

as brett mentioned, you meant defensively right?

soriano is probably our most productive offensive player right now...that or castro

werent you saying that soriano's defense was pretty good last year?

 

[Captain Obvious]

No. I mean as a player. He sucks. He can only hit. That's all he can do and he doesn't do it well enough to have value.

 

[brett05]

If he's that bad how awful everyone else on your team?
