Could somone please remind me of the last time Soriano actually made a great defensive or offensive play by actually hustling?  He reminds me of the following quote from shortstop Roger Dorn in the movie Major League:

Jake Taylor: What I was concerned with was why you didn't come up with that grounder that Rockert hit in the 9th
Roger Dorn: It was out of my reach, what do you want me to do dive for it?
Jake Taylor: Rog, it could have meant the game!
Roger Dorn: oh come on cut the rah rah shit Taylor! Year after this I go free agent. Plus me and my agent got a couple of plans for life after baseball. So I am not about to risk major injury or displace this property for a collection of stiffs!

Unfortunately, I doubt whether Sori is actually protecting his body for some post career plans.  I also suspect that his knees are shot.  Watch him run. He runs as if his knees really hurt especially when slowing to approach a base or a ground ball.  I think he is really limited in what he can do physically.  I understand and appreciate that he was a major reason for the Cubs success over the last 2 seasons.  But, the Cubs need to realize that he is no longer the player they signed and mothball him until he starts hitting the ball.  Then, let him go on mini hot-hitting streak and see if they can eat most of his salary while unloading him as a DH on an AL team.  He is a liability on our roster.  It is tough but if he can't perform at the major league level, he shouldn't be playing in the major leagues.
