Okay, he needs to go!!
Untradeable? No, the Cubs can eat some of the contract.
For who? I don't care, but he's a fly in the ointment.
Expect this to get bumped a lot by season's end

Blergh.
That game sucked.
We're losing tons of games lately.
This has to be 6 or 7 out of 10.

Yeah, not a good habit to be getting into. You gotta win these games, show a little something.
Pretty average looking team thus far.

In all honesty, what he's doing right now is great. But he was ABYSMAL for the first month of the season.
He's a great hitter, some of the time. But he is the streakiest player I've ever seen. He is either hitting a dinger every fifth at bat or striking out four times a game. He is either blisteringly hot or frigidly cold; there is no in-between.
In some ways I think he's a good fit for the Cubs for that reason. We have enough offensive weapons that we don't NEED Sori to carry the team. When he's hitting, we have a much better chance to win. But even when he isn't, Fuk and D-Lee and Rammy can get it done.
So I don't really want to trade him. Some consistency would be nice, but who are you going to trade for?

It's obvious he read my post, and so I'll take all the credit for busting him out of his slump 
Anyway, I agree, he is SO streaky that it's maddening.
And as you said, who can we get for him??

It will be interesting to see who has the better year out in left field.
Braun is the more consistent solid hitter. You know what you're getting.
But Sori has these hot streaks where nobody can hit better.
And neither of them can field their position for shit.

BTW, it's the fourth inning at Wrigley and Soriano is 3/3 w/ a single, a double, and a home-run and has three RBIs.

Nothing like a hit batter + passed ball for one loss and then to have the 27th out dropped for the loss the next day.
That's a big swing right there. Not to mention demoralizing to a club.
