Sizemore vs Soriano

[jlm53089]

This isnt a trade question.
But who is going to have the better year?
Right now Sizemore has him beat and the fact that A-Ram got hurt doesnt help soriano.
Any rumor of putting Pie lead-off and letting Soriano hit 2nd?
So the question is, who is going to have the better season?

I think at this point you have to give the nod to Sizemore.

Because of Soriano's horrible start, 40/40 is definitely out of the realm of possibility, and 30/30 is a reach. 25/25 would be a god send right now.

Looking at Sizemore's numbers, there's no reason to think he won't end up 25/85-90ish/120-130/35 SB. That should put him well over the top of Fonzo this season. But don't be surprised if Soriano manages to eek out some bombs when he goes on his streaks like he has recently...and end up with a couple more home runs than Sizemore. That said, Sizemore should end up with the better numbers overall for this season.

I'm a grady owner, but I think that he'll outperform sori of every cat but rbi's.

I dont think id say 25/25 for soriano would be a god send right now. Soriano has always been a streaky hitter and he seems to be picking it up now. I would actually be surprised if he didnt hit over 30 homers and get 30 steals, i would just give him some time. However i would have to give Sizemore a slight edge for overall numbers this year.
