They might also note that the only thing that makes Soriano at all seem like an adequate left fielder is that throwing arm.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
RF and LF are basically the same. Much less ground to cover than in center, having to deal with curvy liners, the wall, etc.

How is RF harder? The only reason it's considered a slightly more premium position than LF, is that is demands that you have a strong arm. Which Alf has.

I know it seems that way, but right field at Wrigley(and most fields) is the sun field. Good outfielders like Fukudome(who is also a converted infielder) make it seem like a walk in the park. Also, even though there is a perception that Wrigley is a symmetrical park it really is not, the power alley in right is about 20 feet deeper than in left. I have heard on numerous occasion from many different outfielders that the outfield at Wrigley is the hardest outfield in the National League to play because of the combination of wind and sun.
