He's not flashy and has average range, but he generally makes all the routine plays and even some difficult ones. I can't complain about him at all.
Soriano on the other hand is a butcher. He's not even fast anymore, so he can't make up for his terrible routes. He also plays way too deep. The only thing he has going for him is his arm. Overall he's a disaster.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I agree with you on Theriot although it's only fair to note his weak arm as well.
Fontenot is a decent all around second baseman, but I've been very impressed with how quickly and smoothly he can turn a double play.
Soriano is fast still.... but he doesn't utilize his speed in the field. He hesitates too much and just doesn't read the ball well. It seems like he is ALWAYS afraid of running into an infielder too on those bloops.
