He really does possess a strong and accurate cannon.
A more intelligent organization might move him to the position that would make the <i>most</i> of that cannon...RF.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
So the intelligent answer for a guy who can't play left field very well is to move him to a tougher position? Heck, he's got a good arm, let's move him back to shortstop while we are at it. If not, I'm sure Soriano would have no problem with the sun in RF at Wrigley.
Needless to say, I don't think that is the move an intelligent organization makes.

How is RF tougher than LF, in any way? The only plausible answer is the sun. Over the past century and a half, players have learned to deal with that sun thing.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
