Nope- take another guess....you may win the 3 Kilo bag of your choice: Cheetos, Fritos, or a vacation for 2 to Arkansas...!!!

Bonus Prize is a 50 year old bag of those scrumptious "Chik-O-Stix"....!

Yep, BINGO....you win, take your pick

Soriano led the AL in Runs, Hits, and Stolen Bases in 2002 on top of it...you were close the 1st time, since there's always that TX-NY A-Roid/Soriano connection...GG..!

always thought they should have just kept soriano

Yep, one would of thought Soriano would of been moved to OF, since his glove was not so good. Cano gave the Yanx more than 1 reason to off Alfonso, as did obtaining A-Roid....

419 Career HR's, yet 1,796 Strike Outs, 496 Base on Balls, and 2, 094 Hits....the kid could of been a contender with 500 HR's if he'd of learned to make contact in a different way....!

His K to Hits ratio is horrid...! Just saying...! (No judgement here).

no doubt a flawed player, but a homegrown yankee (after his japan league days as a youngster) and i think thats what was missing from the mid 2000 teams for the most part, it became a team of hired guns with no real attachment to the franchise
