see I like Soriano, and think he provides a lot of offensive value to the team.
In fact, I’d argue that he’s the best offensive player we’ve got. That being said, he is a guess hitter, isn’t he? He’s not the kind of guy to study pitchers and adjust. He’s essentially a bad ball hitter, although a good one at that.

Derrek is becomming less and less of a power bat and more and more of a 2 spot or 6 spot hitter?
Yes...
But, our #1 hitter acts more like a 3 or 4
