Highly underrated. Only player to be MVP in both leagues.

Good piece here on Frank Robinson the manager (specifically in regards to his handling of Alfonso Soriano).

Thanks for sharing that link. I enjoyed the perspective. Also made me think about Soriano more, since I almost never see him used in the sim. Weak defense and low OBP aren't helping his cause, but the power-speed combo isn't too common. I'm guessing he plays pretty well in leagues within his era, though.

I agree with the writer when he said that on first seeing Soriano, he looked like he was going to be a star. I remember him in 2001, watched him closely in that post-9/11 post-season, thinking this guy's going to be a Hall of Famer if he stays healthy for 15 years.

Bobby Bonds was similar. Power and speed. Was a can't miss guy. The strikeouts kept him from achieving more...

Good article. I never really liked Soriano as a player as he always seemed like a primadonna.
