I Am Without Speech
When I first heard about the Soriano signing, I heard it from my brother-in-law,who is a Sox fan, and my first reaction was "Get out- The Cubs signed Soriano?". But it is true. I still can't believe it myself. I can't remember the last time the Cubs landed a prime free-agent. Like the move or not, you can't help but be impressed. I'm guessing it's no coincidence that they make a move like this after Andy McFail is gone.
Also, it looks like the Cubs found their leadoff hitter. 2004-06, Soriano has a .354 obp in leadoff and a .928 ops from *1 spot (.368 and .956 in 2006).
It's a lot of money and a lot of years, but that's what the big boys do. The Cubs have decided to play with the big boys.
Now if they can sign Z to a long-term contract.
