You can't play all of these guys at once. Our bench is improved tremendously, which is nice. But come on, our offense isn't drastically improved unless one of these guys starts hitting out of his mind.

This is what Baseball America wrote when Soler (a Cuban defector) signed:
In a January subscribers-only column, Baseball America described Soler as a kid that,“stands out for his thick, physical build and strength. Power is Soler's best tool, as he shows great bat speed, the ability to hit balls out to all fields and the potential to hit 25 home runs per year. While scouts like his power and some like his swing, he bars his front arm and the stiffness in his stroke is a concern for some scouts. Scouts have offered differing opinions on his ability to hit breaking balls, but he has a history of laying off pitches outside the strike zone in international competition and has more on-base potential than Cespedes. Soler is athletic for his size and there are reports of him running the 60-yard dash in 6.5 seconds—a time that grades out as well above-average speed—but several scouts have said he's really an average runner at best, running better underway than down the line.”

Ehh, I'll wait to see the price before I boom this. Closer costs suggest it could be ugly.

I think Soler had a rough start to the year. He isn't far removed from a MONSTER year. Hes still on the right side of 30.

I'm being greedy, but I hope AA got one more pen piece in before 4 PM.
