Soriano

[Mugrila]

anybody else hope soriano gets a chance to show what he can do? i mean, it'd be nice if garcia can get it together, but that doesn't look like it's gonna happen. alos, is anybody else unhappy about the lack of trading seattle has done? i think we need just one or two more players to make a serious run in the postseason.

Actually, I've been impressed that Melvin is starting to use Soriano in high-leverage situations in relief. I didn't think Melvin would have the guts to do that, he's so low-key and by-the-book. Soriano's been lights-out, especially lately. If Freddy has a few more crappy games, we might see Soriano in the rotation.

As for trades, when the M's didn't do anything at the trading deadline (July 31), I told friends that Oakland would catch them in the standings by August 8. I was wrong about that, obviously, but I keep expecting Oakland to go on a tear and pass the M's at some point this season.

hmmm... garcias last outing was okay, but if he screws up big time again i think they should try soriano fopr a start. And as for the trades, if it aint broke, don't fix it!
