February 18, 200422 yr I have no 100% confirmation but word from the bird is Alfonso Soriano is actually 28 not 26 and the Yankees have known for over a year and the Rangers knew BEFORE the trade was offered :shifty either way i expect Sorio to have a bash at the ballpark in Arlington, if the kid cant hit 40hrs in that smallpark i will be frosted...
February 18, 200422 yr http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball...6p-144914c.html Yeah, he's going to do well. But wow, this guy looked young for 26! Like comeon, I wouldn't be surprised to find out if miguel cabrera is 14 years old. He's still quite a physical specimen for 28, and he's proof that a 25 year old rookie can become a great. I feel kind of let down, but if he looks this good for 28, he's going to be playing into his 40s.
February 18, 200422 yr He's a career .360 hitter in Arlington, a .429 OBP, .700 SLG, and 1.129 OPS. Granted, that was all against crappy Texas pitching but still... [source]
February 18, 200422 yr Author sorio is still boss so i do not expect anything less than .280 35 110 30sb (having LOW expectations) the age thing did come as a surprise but in the long run it has no effect...
February 18, 200422 yr yeah, he looks young for 26, especially 28. So what's his real age? he has improved on the basepaths the last few years, so I don't see some sudden slow down from "old age." he'll be effective for a long time. Albert Pujols looks older.
February 18, 200422 yr Will Sori finally achieve 40-40? And do the Rangers still have Michael Young at 2B?
February 18, 200422 yr Will Sori finally achieve 40-40? And do the Rangers still have Michael Young at 2B? 40-40 I say yes. I heard sori will stay at second, he will play center, play short stop, and others say he will play a combination of 2b, SS, and CF. I guess it depends upon how certain texas minor leaguers do in spring training.
February 19, 200422 yr centerfield is what people are saying right now in dallas. although i would see who is best at short out of young/soriano and do that.
