Soriano
<!--quoteo(post=29861:date=Apr 13 2009, 11:47 AM:name=veryzer)-->QUOTE (veryzer @ Apr 13 2009, 11:47 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->i hate ageeing with joe morgan, but he was right on the money last night when he said that sometimes players just don't fit in with conventional wisdom. there are exceptions to every rule. soriano is that exception. <b>the stats kid showed us prove that soriano just doesn't perform well anywhere in the lineup but leading off.</b> he's the exception. why we keep beating this horse is beyond me.

like it or not, soriano is going to lead off, he's going to be successful leading off, in fact, he'll most likely be the best lead off hitter we ever had, and nothing is going to change it. we can cry about it, we can bitch about it, we can dissect it, we can break it down to death, but it's not going to change anything. so we can just let it go. soriano, like ryne sandberg before him, is the exception. time to move on.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

oddly enough, didn't Phillips point out that Soriano sees the fewest percentage of fastballs out of all the leadoff hitters or something like that? I have no idea if he was pulling it out of his ass or what, but it sort of defies the entire argument that Soriano is better as a leadoff hitter because of all the fastballs that he sees. I tend to think that he'd see a hell of a lot more fastballs hitting in front of Ramirez.
