chw42 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 03:11 PM) Don't they both throw like girls? Â Only Gardner. Like I said, Soriano's arm basically made him an acceptable left fielder when he first started playing the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorStSox Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 03:16 PM) Soriano has/had one of the best arms in baseball. He's regularly tops in OFers in assists (He's #4 among active players right now). UZR and DRS also liked his arm (especially when he first started playing the OF). Assists don't equal good arm. It simply means more teams are willing to run on you. Soriano throws like a girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 03:17 PM) Flowers is hitting .444. Maybe we let this season breathe a little, huh? Trade 'em while his value is the highest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 01:10 PM) Range is more important than the fielder's arm in every outfield position. I'd rather have 3 Brett Gardners than 3 Alfonso Sorianos in my outfield. You can have Scotty Pods in LF, CF and RF, I'll take Francouer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soriano throws like a girl. Â UZR and DRS don't agree with that, especially not at the beginning of his career. Â I don't know where you get the idea that Soriano can't throw. You can say he has awful range or doesn't know how to play the outfield (he looks so lost sometimes), but I don't think you can say he can't throw.
