Alfonso Soriano is having yet another below average April and many fantasy owners are dropping the slugger in their leagues.
Analysis: Soriano had zero home runs in the month of April last year… he ended up with 32 home runs which was fourteenth most in all of baseball. This year through seven games Soriano is again without a home run and also has zero RBI. I understand that he’s now thirty-seven years old but he is a must own regardless of age or a slump. He’s a power bat with a good track record hitting cleanup on a big league team… you’d have to be nuts to drop him from your fantasy squad right now.
Yet plenty of people are bailing on Alfonso Soriano just one week into the season. He’s available in 5-30% of fantasy leagues so grab him now before he goes on one of his streaks. The only valid concern with Soriano at this point is his strikeout rate. If it’s still over 30% by the end of May it might not be his year but are you willing to take that chance by bailing on him so early?
