I imagine Mickey Mantle would be in the same boat as Soriano with all his strike outs.

Soriano was traded to Texas when Texas already had a second baseman. I would think that it can be unsettling to an athlete to never know what days you'll be playing.

We can say that a player should win his spot every time out, but these guys are high strung primadonnas.

I hope whatever decision is made is in favor of Soriano.

Bowden seems to have known in advance that Soriano had no interest in playing outfield.

I hope the Carps are watching and ready to bring him back to Japan.
