Damn, ol Hammerin Hank must have been hitting the bourbon hard that day. To imply that Soriano is even fit to come within 100 feet of the great Roberto Clemente's grave should be grounds for a visit to the padded room in Bellvue. Pure lunacy! Alfonso Soriano without question the most overrated player in the game today, and Jose Reyes, 8 years his junior, is already nearly on the same level offensively and far better defensively.
