Soriano was not the Yankees first choice

They checked on Alex Rios who would not wave his NTC. And they checked with the Giants about Hunter Pence.

Saw that on MLB, I like Rios but think Pence puts a huge charge where ever he plays. Not the most graceful ball player I've ever seen but the man is just flat out good.

He's a much needed right handed bat. 30 years old. A career 285 hitter. Plays a decent RF & has some pop. This season his #s are 14/51/278. OBP is not that hot .321 but did I mention that he's also 14-14 in SBs. Down side might be the salary. This year he's earning 13.8M

I would take him for down the road too. Forget this year.
