How the mighty have fallen. It was only three years ago that Soriano was being scooped up at the beginning of the first round of fantasy drafts. 2009 was a complete disaster, but Soriano is still too talented a player not to bounce back. He won't be the Soriano you remember, especially at 34, but he should be much better in 2010, and might be greatly undervalued in your league. .275-80-25-80-10 in 450 AB

Positives / Upside	This is still the same guy who joined the 40/40 club in 2006. He is no longer in his prime and has been slowed by injuries, but he still ranks as one of the most purely talented players in the game. He should be healthy and ready to go in time for spring training and has way more upside than anyone else you'll get for his perceived value. .285-90-30-90-15 in 500 AB
Negatives / Downside	Yes, the upside is there, but the risk is tremendous. Another major injury is a distinct possibility, meaning a repeat of 2009, or worse, is a possibility. All the injuries have really taken a toll on his body, and that is one thing that can't be fixed. .265-70-20-70-5 in 350 AB
Recommendation	Only at a discount
Draft Position	165
