He signed a contract with Texas at a position that has brought him prosperity and renown. Demanding that he perform at a position other than the stated or implied position without his agreement voids the contract.

Willie, suggesting that the contract is for Soriano to play 2nd base as opposed to playing baseball is a pretty big leap, I think. While crazy things happen, I haven't seen anything to suggest his contract is to play 2B.
To suggest that it is an implied term of the contract seems the best you can argue. While Soriano is not "property" his contract clearly is and that is what has been traded and what Soriano signed. That is why I support the players in almost every situation... except I really have a problem with this one.
