Post by: I Am The Anton on December 07, 2005, 09:09:44 PM: Soriano really isn't an elite player like most make him out to be. Javi isn't hating on him, hes just beign honest. Soriano=Overrated.

Anton FTW

He said they improved with Wilkerson. Look at the stats.
Title: Re: Alfonso Soriano traded to Nationals
Post by: I Am The Anton on December 07, 2005, 09:13:37 PM: And I agree with him.

Wilkerson is capable of so much more, whereas I see Soriano going no where but down, ESPECIALLY playing in the EXTREME pitchers ballpark the Nationals play in. And don't forget the defensive side of the game. Soriano BLOWS HARD at 2nd, whereas Wilkerson has some speed in the field and is decent with the glove.

P.S.-The Anton & Javi Show FTW!!!

Post by: Javier on December 07, 2005, 09:16:21 PM: .234/.278/.409- Soriano's stats on the Road last year

Imagine what Wilkerson's stats will look like while playing in Texas?
Title: Re: Alfonso Soriano traded to Nationals
Post by: I Am The Anton on December 07, 2005, 09:18:28 PM: Not to mention the fact that Wilkerson is 3-4 million dollars cheaper.And younger.
Title: Re: Alfonso Soriano traded to Nationals
Post by: Javier on December 07, 2005, 09:19:10 PM: And in the team's control for the next four years or so. While Soriano is a FA in one year.
