We haven't signed Bako and it's probably because Hendry wants to get something better if he can afford it. I actually think that's why Pudge would be good. Both he and Soto are Puerto Rican and I'm sure Soto has looked up to him.

Pudge wants to start, he'd be about the worst choice.

You really don't know that for a fact and Pudge may have to reassess his options if true. MLB Homeplate had a lengthy discussion on this subject today. Players like Pudge (and Griffey, Vizquel, etc) are gonna have to take reduced roles or retire. Vizquel just signed a minor league deal with the Rangers, sign of the times.
