Soriano - one selfish ball player

Second baseman Alfonso Soriano isn't at all interested in switching positions for a new team.
Everyone looking to trade for Soriano seems to want him as an outfielder. "I think if that is the reason that a team gets me, it's going to be a little bit difficult, because I'm not going to give up my position," Soriano said. "I'm not going to pass to another position. I'm going to play second base." Soriano has no trade protection, but if he is dead set against switching positions, no team is going to acquire him and force him to move.




You talk about a guy interested only in his stats and himself.

I don't know. with 2b being so shallow, he is probably wise to want to stay there. Maybe he could help a team in the OF, but there's no one better when Sori breaks out. Let him stay at 2nd I say, he'll be happier and will hit better.

His wife said he was prepared to retire if he can't play 2B.

Maybe the guy doesn't wanted to keep getting traded from team to team, nothing wrong with that I guess.

Would you say Jeter not moving from short to second for A-Rod is the same kind of selfish guy? Interested only in himself?

Just wondering.

EXACTLY what I was thinking. Stupid thought stealing bastard.

Probably an empty threat.

I'd doubt he has enough money now to last him the rest of his life, does he?

He's probably close, but he couldn't afford everything he'd like to I'm sure.

I completely understand Soriano's position. The Yankees moved him from SS to 2B and he's spent a lot of time learning that new position. To make him move and learn another new position is pretty tough.

Derek Jeter did just win a Gold Glove. Be careful of what you say about him now

I never liked Soriano and always thought he was one of the cockiest players today. That bieng said I understand his position, why would you want to give up your position you've been playing (and succeeding at) for years?
