One can say just about the same thing about Soriano...for year. Never stops people from draftinh him.

Are you kidding me? If he hit the open market right now he'd get $10M+ a year easily.

I'll take 40+ HR's & 100+ RBI's on my team anyday.

Learns the K zone better? The guy walked 108 times.
You keep thinking he won't be worth much, but when he's a FA, and he's making 13 Mil. a year, you might change your opinion.

Adam Dunn is not a 35/35 ballplayer.
Neither is Soriano, what's your point?
In two of the past three years he was. That's my point. Does your memory only go back 12 months?

Sorry, I just have a really bad memory. Those trends mean absolutely nothing, he's exactly the same 35/35 player he was.

Oh the trend of two of the past three seasons being a 35/35 season. What, is the last season of a player's performance the standard to base all projections on? Wrong.
Bottom line, Soriano has gone from a premium early first round selection to a lower upper-tier player whom people reach for early just because he plays 2B.
