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.

Pearce is in rightfield until further notice.
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.

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.

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.

      Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.

      He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.

      Think Heston will be the next call up. Mayo’s K/BB ratio is poor and I think they’ll want to see that even out. Stowers and Norby have seen their numbers slip a bit.  It will likely take an injury to an outfielder or first baseman, but I think we see HK next.

      I have to laugh at some of my pre-draft thoughts as well as others. I will say on behalf of myself and some others is that what we did not understand then was what the Orioles brain trust knew to be their model, and what they best developed. What traits they were looking for is an important thing to know, in hindsight anyway. And really, the Jackson Holliday leap in development was not something most of us heard anything about until about a month before the draft. I saw him the previous summer and I cannot say he was all that impressive, but it was only one look. His physicality took a big jump after that.  I will also add that we’re never going to know what would have happened if they drafted Austin Martin, Jones, Lawler, Lacy, etc. Their development could well have been different as O’s. The funny part of this board, in general, is the absolute certainty some have in their opinions and how eager they are to trash Elias and staff. There is plenty of humility to go around, now that things have played out. It’s fun to finally have a truly great front office and ownership group, and a stacked stable of horses.
