Could Soriano's Loss Be a Cubs Gain?
Written by wrigleyville   
Monday, 06 August 2007
Al over at Bleed Cubbie Blue has an interesting post that touches on what it will mean for the Cubs to be without Soriano for perhaps four weeks. The main knock on Alfonso is that he is a streaky hitter who isn't particularly good in clutch situations. Having watched plenty of Soriano last season when he was with the Nationals, this is unequivocally true. In fact, I have long thought that the reason he insists on the leadoff spot is that it keeps him from having to bat with runners in scoring position. The sad truth (which Chuck at IvyChat correctly identifies in this post) is that the Cubs would be a better team if they could put Alfonso in RF and bat him deeper in the order -- but that he doesn't seem to have the make-up for either. It will be interesting to see how Eric Patterson fares over the next couple of weeks, but I'm a little distressed by his call-up. In my perfect world, I'd like to see Alfonso's playing time taken by Matt Murton or Felix Pie. My fear with the Patterson call-up is that Lou will use this to give Ronny Cedeno more playing time. It's all too easy to envision him moving Theriot to RF or LF, starting Ronny, and using Patterson off the bench. I know I placed a moratorium on criticizing Lou's line-ups for the forseeable future -- but I really hope Lou doesn't do this.
