So you don't think that Soriano could defy probability and be a statistical anomaly?
Besides, the notion that batters should be able to bat the same at any part of the lineup and your notion that Soriano would perform at the same level batting lower is all based on <i>conventional wisdom</i>...which basically denies probability. You contradict yourself here, sir. You have large enough sample sizes to make an educated assumption on Soriano's performance at different parts of the lineup and you still assert that he would be better off batting lower despite the fact that the truth stares you right in the face.

If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy
