Not unless we are able to find a taker for Soriano. Right now I would think that Byrd and Colvin are locked in next season.

It's extremely unlikely that Jackson would start with the big league club out of spring training next year regardless of how many OFers are under contract. Assuming Fukudome is traded away sometime before the 2011 season, I would think Jackson gets a call up later in the season next year. By that point, I think Byrd could be relegated to a 4th outfielder. Along with that, I think Dirk could be right about Colvin and/or Soriano getting 1st base gloves.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Isn't Colvin a good fielder though? Wouldn't it make much more sense to move Soriano to 1B?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
IMO, yes. Especially since Soriano played in the infield before.

Soriano would be an absolute disaster at first. Ramirez and Castro alone would probably have 70 errors a season.

The thing you need to remember is that all Cardinals fans and all White Sox fans are very bad people. It's a fact that has been scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Being a Cubs fan is the only path to rightousness and piousness. Cardinal and White Sox fans exist to be the dark, diabolical forces that oppose us. They are the yin to our yang, the Joker to our Batman, the demon to our angel, the insurgence to our freedom, the oil to our water, the club to our baby seal. Their happiness occurs only in direct conflict with everything that is pure and good in this world.
