Time to get Alfonso Soriano

[section18]

Soriano has 12 doubles, 12 HR'S, 40 RBI'S and is hitting .275. He would be second in HR'S, 2nd in doubles, lead in RBI'S if he was on the roster. If we can get them to eat half of his remaining salary I would make a deal. He is another power bat that would give other teams pitchers headaches. Go get him DD and we will help our offense and allow some of our pitchers who are giving up 4 runs a game a chance to stay in the game longer. Add Garza and Soriano and we are in the playoffs

Time to get Alfonso Soriano

Brittany Ghiroli ‏@Britt_Ghiroli

Nolan Reimold still not gaining strength & dealing w numbess in certain spots. Will fly here for MRI.

There's a problem with this conclusion... Alfonso Soriano isn't an outfielder.

[crowmst3k!]

Here's what you do -- you go for Garza and, to acquire him cheaper, you offer to take on Soriano and, say, 50% of his remaining deal.

Been saying this, too.

Why not just see what Pearce can do?

Pearce is in rightfield until further notice.

Oh. My. God. I can't believe this is actually picking up steam on the OH.

Wait, actually I can. Just a few posts here, a few posts there...then a thread or two. And all of a sudden, it's a valid (to some) trade idea.

[Ampontan]

So how do we get you guys into the O's Front office to execute?

To execute whom? The person who came up with the idea of trading for Soriano?

[Bohs&O's]

You could possibly want to execute me. : )

Then what was he doing in LF tonight. I'd rather have a RH LF who costs nothing and plays good D in LF than Soriano. Markakis will be back soon. It's idiotic to spend money and players on Soriano. If you need another OF until Markakis is back bring up on of Ford, Avery, or McCutchen.

Sorry, I meant McLouth, but I bet you knew that. They both played CF for PIT and have names that begin with Mc. I hope that doesn't keep you up all night.

Wow. I wasn't playing a game. I didn't know who you meant. Lose the attitude. I understand now why there was a mis-type.

Call me crazy but I'd have no problem with Alfonso Soriano, the player, on our team. Bad OBP, sure, but if Reimold is gonna be out for a while, I'd prefer Alfonso to any of our current options.

But still, I'd only trade for him if the Cubs were paying a decent majority of the salary (for both years) and we weren't giving up anything much of sure value. I think the Cubs might be able to find better than that.

No thanks. Questionable attitude, cant get on base, terrible defense, terrible contract. We have enough solo homers already, if we get an outfielder, lets get one of those guys that just get on base and play good defense. Solid pop, solid speed. There are plenty of guys like that out there. I dont care for a big name just because.

[jabba72]

I like Pearce over Soriano for now. I actually feel Pearce could play for alot of teams potentially. Im very surprised the Yankees gave him to us.
