Alfonso Soriano dealt to Washington Nationals

Vidro split time at the #2 and #3 holes in the lineup. There is no reason that a guy with his numbers in the #5 hole is going to be moved especially when their best hitter is Johnson.

[McKain]

The Rangers and Nationals are entirely different teams; for one, Soriano had to be the #5 hitter because Mark Teixeira is an absolute beast and David Dellucci was actually outperforming Soriano for most of the year. Nick Johnson and Jose Guillen certainly on the same level as Teixeira/Dellucci last year, and as such, Soriano isn't going to be pushed back to #5, since they view him as a better hitter than Nicky and Jose.

Well then they are completely wrong. Soriano is an ideal #5 guy.

[McKain]

Soriano is an ideal "should not be a Nationals player" guy.

Here's a question, who will play CF now for the Nats? Church or Byrd? I personally like Church's style of play.

[McKain]

Almost no chance Byrd gets the job; Byrd was pretty terrible last year and Church had a very nice year.
