Default What would you do with Alfonso Soriano?

Will Soriano follow Zambrano out the door? - Chicago Cubs Blog - ESPN Chicago

Keeping in mind this is now a $54MM problem which is three times more than Zambrano's remaining salary, what would you do if you were the Cubs?

keep him at LF unless a really appealing trade comes(alfonso produces a bit in april and may..which makes him look more appealing than he actually is sometimes) or something else happens

i dont really understand benching him...possibly because of his defense?

i think at some point he will be traded or the cubs will decide to get rid of him..that contract is a burden and alfonso will continue to decline

The bench thing is basically because of his defense. Soriano at this point is a DH-type.

You can also vote in the poll!

Depending on what happens in spring training, I think they can put either Reed Johnson or Dave Sappelt there. Campana would be in the mix too should Sappelt suck.

try to trade if not start in LF

I dont hate the guy like I do Z who I never wanted to see in a uni again. I don't blame him for signing the contact he did at least he is a professional unlike Z.

What did Z do to the team over the years? What was so bad the he did? He won us a lot of ball games, I know that. .

Keep Soriano, he's a great clubhouse guy. But I think he can be platooned with Reed Johnson or Brett Jackson or whoever else they have. Reed just tears apart left-handed pitching.

I don't know why the Orioles would want Soriano if they didn't bother re-signing Vlad Guerrero, but whatever...

Orioles, Cubs Discussed Alfonso Soriano: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com

I think Phil Rogers said something about a Brian Roberts swap. Phil Rogers is funny.
