I think Soriano is in love with the home run and the adoration that goes with it. It appears to me he loves being the hero. Hope he can understand that he has been more of a liability to the team than an asset. Lots of “ifs.” Is he willing (and able) to reinvent himself?? Such an interesting analysis — going on to read Part 2!

Some have suggested moving Sori back to second, Lorenzo. But he can’t handle that position — that’s why he’s in left field. Read Part 2 of this report — Sori is a complicated person, more than he needs be. And, no, you don’t want more problems on the Mets!

I’ve followed his career since he was a Yankee–and admit to being one of those 50 plus white guys who play Rotis baseball (NL only; the original league, even though I only came into it 10 years ago).
I know Cubs are stacked with infielders, but maybe a move to 2B would help Soriano–he’s simply not an OF. He also doesn’t seem to have grown into a mature player, but I hope he does turn it around.
For Cub fans and for Lou.
And as bad as he has played, I still wish the Mets had him–in the OF, infield, anywhere.
It’s always a pleasure to read a terrific baseball piece. Thanks.
