You're right. Soriano's contract prevented us from signing...oh wait...it didn't prevent us from doing shit. We still signed the Milton Bradley's...we even signed the Aaron Miles's's. We get it. You don't like Soriano or his contract. Don't force squares into round holes to try and prove some point that doesn't exist.

The mere fact that Soriano is on our roster prevented us from making a go at any top notch free agent signed in the last 3 years. <b>It also prevented us from trading for high salaried players like Halladay. </b> You sir, are a fucking retard if you cannot see that. How can you be so obtuse?

We weren't willing to give the prospects for him, if we even had enough.
