| Manager trying to protect Alfonso Soriano |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(5/8/13) Cubs veteran outfielder Alfonso Soriano was held out of the starting lineup Wednesday against the Cardinals for just the third time in 34 games.
"You try to give him these kind of days off," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said, per MLB.com. "He seems to perform better after the days off. Whether you feel good or not, your legs are getting pretty beat up and tired when you get to that age."
Soriano is batting .367 (11 for 30) with two home runs, three doubles and eight RBI in his last eight games. His batting average has surged from .247 to .276 in that span.

Alfonso Soriano showing his power
|
| Alfonso Soriano had a huge bounce-back campaign for the Cubs last season as he posted his best numbers since 2005. He batted .265 with 15 home runs and 48 RBI in the first half before picking up his run production after the All-Star break, finishing with 32 homers and 108 RBI. While he struck out 153 times, his .262 average was his best mark since 2008 and he slugged .499. The 37-year-old still has two years left on the eight-year, $136 million deal he signed in 2007 but his ability to hit for power and drive in runs makes Soriano a reliable option in Fantasy. The Cubs could try and move him before the trade deadline, but if such a move sends him to a contender, that would only help his value. While he doesn't have the speed to steal 30-40 bases anymore, owners should plan on targeting Soriano in the middle-to-late rounds on Draft Day. (Updated 12/11/12) |
