Soriano
So I got home on Wednesday to find out that the Nats have traded Wilky and Sledge for Soriano. SORIANO? We got rid of Wilkerson for an overpriced redundant Second Basemen? Then I looked at the stats.
.....
This Soriano guy... SUCKS! And we sent ALL our tradebait away for this?
This is BULLSHIT!
Once again, Trader Jim continues the steady process of destroying our team for his Major League Baseball overlords to ensure that when a new owner buys it, it will be years before we're competitive. Alright - I don't actually believe Cap'n Leatherpants actually wants to sink us, but it certainly feels that why when he makes trades like this one. EUCH! I can't believe this! Wilkerson had an off year and his OBP was 40 points higher than Soriano - 40 POINTS! Wilkerson can play any outfield position and first base! Soriano is doing nothing but complaining about them moving him to the Outfield, despite the fact that he's a shitty Second Basemen. If the Nats need someone at Second who can make an error every other game, they should hire me! Seriously - I'll do it, and I'll do it for HALF the money that Soriano wants!
But no...we have to have Mr. Alfonso "I'll Swing At Anything Even if It's So Far Outside It Misses the Screen and Takes Out the Vendor Who Always Refers to Water as Healthy (You Know the One)" Soriano!!! GRRR!!!!!
I'm not sure how I feel about losing Sledge either. On the one hand, I like him better than Ryan Church. I think he's a more disciplined hitter and was a good defensive outfielder. One the other hand, he ripped his hamstring clear off the bone. Last time I checked, ripping meat off the bone was only preferable if you intended to eat it. And since Mr. Sledge is a baseball player, not a Soccer player, I don't believe that was his intention. So we'll see....
