Sorry been a long week at work, has this been covered? I did not see it. Espn announcing that Alfonso Soriano is actually 28 years old and not 26? It does little now but what about all the talk of how bright a future this guy has? Granted he is still young with plenty good of years in him, but what does everyone here think?
Just maybe he now only has 5-6 good years left instead of 7-8? Could it make a difference where he ends up on the list of all time greats?

    Whether he's 26 or 28 doesn't matter. He's a stud and will make Texas forget all about Pay Rod.
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    that remains to be seen.
    let's all just wait an see what
    he actually does before you proclaim
    him a "shoe-in for theHOF" or anything...

    (and that goes for Joestalin too.)

    Let's watch and see.

    He's fun to watch any way you slice it.

    true!
    and he IS talented.

    I just am not sure that he will be
    as successful in the ranger organization
    as he was in NY. Maybe he will...

    (and likewise I think that A-rod will
    excell in NY compared to even how
    well he did on previous teams

    After 9/11, many foreign baseball players were found to be older than they stated.

    I think Soriano informed the yankees (not caught by the US immigration due to a diff visa he carries) that he is 2 years older than stated.


    I wouldn't be surprise if Pujols is found to be over 24.

    I think Soriano is a good player. Let's see how he fares in a different environment.

    Could make a difference if age is a factor (say he is the youngest player to hit 30 HR, 30 stolen base while there's another player younger than his true age who had 30-30).

    Big difference if a player hits record breaking HRs, etc. and found to have been taking roids.


    RIP Snow

    I may be in the minority on this issue, but I think that there is a big difference between 26 and 28 and I think that Texas would be plenty p-o'd if they weren't so happy to just get rid of A-Rod's salary. Two productive years is a long time to be giving up.
