I know it most likely won't happen, but it would be pretty good if the Yankees could trade for him. He has a great arm and was shifted to Left Feild in Spring training before learning that Knoblauch wouldn't be playing second base anymore. I think its worth a try, but as I said, probably won't happen. |

No. I'd rather have Mike Cameron than him. At least we know he can play CF. All we know about Soriano is that he has the ability to play there. |

You would rather have Bernie in Center for over 145 games? |

My bad, typed too fast. How did you edit without having that line at the bottom? Anyway, Cameron will be in right for the Mets and even if the Mets get Sosa, he will be in left. |

worse case scenario, if he cant play center, he'd go back to 2nd with womack being the back up infielder. but with his speed he could probably be a decent c/f. |

It was hypothetical. Someone brought him up in another thread. Just don't check the box where it says "Add the 'Edit by' line in this post?". |

I think its worth a try, with him getting arbitration he could get some big bucks in Texas that the Rangers don't want to spend on Soriano. They do need pitching. |

That's not how I meant it, I meant that they wouldn't want to spend the money on Soriano and leaving a big hole in the pitching staff. Anyway, Bernie was basically an average feilder with great speed to make up for taking a bad route to the ball. I think Soriano would be fine. |

Soriano has refused to play the outfield. Why would that change with the Yankees? If he ever played the outfield for the Yankees, it would make more sense to play LF. Right now we need a solid outfielder, not an inexperienced one. |

:yes: Also, Soriano just isn't the type of player we need on this team. If we were gonna trade for a guy, I'd prefer it'd be a contact hitter who's played CF before. |

He might do it for the Yankees. He said he never wanted to leave. Who could the Yankees get right now who is a good experienced center feilder? Anyway, Left field is pretty big in Yankee Stadium, Soriano is pretty fast and I don't think he'd be worse than Bernie. |

Come on, he never took the best routes to the balls, but he was fast and make up ground for his mistakes. You can't say that Bernie was a great fielder. He has the gold gloves but he always had an average arm. |

Randy Winn would be ok, but what would the Mariners want for him? I don't think the A's will let go of Byrnes though |

I don't imagine it would be too hard to get Winn. I think a couple of decent prospects would do it. Byrnes is attainable. Just give the A's a prospect that walks a lot and some cash. ;) |

When he was winning gold gloves he knew what he was doing. Gold gloves are often won on reputation, but first you have to build the reputation. No, he never had more than an average, but he was always good at tracking fly balls. He used to play a lot deeper too. |

And he had to move up because he couldn't get to the balls that dropped in front of him. Point being, I think the Yankees should go after a guy who is used to playing in New York, not Tampa. Is Bubba Crosby worth a shot in spring training? I guess its only fair to give him the chance. |

Cashman already said the Yanks will not get a CF. He said Bubba will be a backup. 200 million and we get Bubba. |

I would LOVE to have Soriano back and roaming CF for the Yankees. And if worse comes to worse ( my people comes first) we can put Matsui in CF and move Soriano to LF, although LF is a bitch in the Bronx. Anyway, we just don't have the cats in the farm that the Rangers would want, they would love some young pitching and we simply don't have that. As far as Soriano not wanting to play the outfield, BAH. That might be the case for 31 other Major League Baseball teams, but he would move to the outfield in dare I say "a ny minute" if it meant coming back to the Yanks, Vito done told me. :peace: |

If I see Bubba starting in CF on a regular basis I'm going to shoot myself in the head. |
