Soriano a DH!!!! a DH???? Holy Cow!!!! Another blow to the Hendry legacy. A free swinging, defensive liability ball player DH’ng…my God, who would have ever thunk THAT? Now that we finally have a position he can play 12 times a year, LET’S SIGN HIM FOR FOUR MORE YEARS!!! Wait a minute, Hendry is one step ahead of us lowly arm chair GMs once again as he has already signed him. Geenyus, sheer geenyus. It’s Kenny Williams’ 104 million payroll vs. Hendry’s 140 million payroll. Go figure.
