Alfonso Soriano trade a no-brainer for the Yankees.

Alfonso Soriano old (37), expensive (owed $ 18 million this year and next year), and just slightly valuable (0.7 bWAR this year) to make the team as he is a crowd. The old team is only 2 1/2 games out of the wild card race in the Yankees. But that might just be worth the slight cost, particularly given that New York has dropped below replacement level in the primary position of the in Soriano Leftfield.


Soriano began his career as an American out of a good deal in February 2004 in a trade for Alex Rodriguez, and a player 10-5 and have the right to reject any stores open to returning to New York. That comes with the brutal efficiency of leftfielders Yankees hitters righthanded, made a deal to send Soriano to address both of these issues is then returned to the Bronx no-brainer. Indeed, the deal is now official with the ball, as it has been-Class. Right-handed Corey Black and Yankees picked up $ 6.8 million of the money owed to Soriano, the rest of this year and the next eight years, $ 136 million contract expires in the end.

If returns seems. underwhelming. To my children, let me put it this way: Yankees to Chicago $ 6.8 million and an opportunity for a pitch to Alfonso Soriano is Cubs still owe Soriano nearly $ 18 million, but they were not going to do anything good. than the other. In fact, the inhibition of Soriano (they scratch the Giants a year ago), there is little to no chance Chicago for the other two to be Soriano, and that he would be willing. to go.

The Yankees have Soriano leftfielders their strike. .223/.268/.330 This season they have hit righthanded hitters. .221/.283/.311. Vernon Welsh was hit. .240/.288/.366 And .192/.232/.231 on the season. Hit since his last home run on May 15 led to the Yankees bats in two categories.

Soriano has hit .254/.287/.467. This season and into the summer games in the Bronx since June 28, he hit 21. .286/.330/.714 With 10 home runs, giving him 17 on the season despite a .287 on base percentage, which bests only 13 qualified hitters this season, Soriano should be. add much to the Yankees during the team OPS (.598 in Leftfield, 0.594 by righthanders) are among the worst you can find in baseball reference index of search.

The Wolverine

Marvel X-Men Origins is why the team at: Circus mutations are more interesting when they come in packs. When a troop of outcasts force was first brought to the screen by Bryan Singer in 2000, Hugh Jackman lamb - chopped adamantium-Wolverine. Stand out with a nail sticking out weird. Accounting and Hollywood being what it is, naturally, he was once again on his own in 2009, the underwhelming X-Men Origins: Wolverine, silly spin that never came together.
Now to wipe the slate clean Jackman and director James Mangold. (Knight and Day; Girl, Interrupted) has teamed to bring out the claws again in Wolverine, and while it is certainly the film more entertaining and far deeper than outing Wolverine last, it still falls short of the top of the tentpoles wonders such as steel. Bubbles and Sam Raimi's Spider-Man.
Depending on Chris Claremont and Frank Miller, the comic book loving curve 1982, Wolverine is a story. (And at times hard soddenly) existential hero of the razor taloned about our struggle with the burden of immortality and loss. But before we wade into the therapy session, the film opens with a harrowing sequence, like most of the film in Japan. It was World War II and Jackman Logan was imprisoned in a Japanese POW camp in Nagasaki, the B-29s flying overhead to deliver the atomic bomb. During the explosion, he saves one of his captors, who was a soldier during the explosion Name Yashida learn from invincible Wolverine and the ability to heal the wounds of his own.
Decades later, Logan, who has not aged a day and renounced violence while living in hairy hermit in Yukon. There, he was tracked down by a punky, red hair fairy Japanese Yukio (Rila Fukushima), who tells him that the man he saved back to the prison camp is now an industry rich in the top half of him. He requested the presence of Logan wrote to thank him and pay he believes he owes him. Of course that's not all he wants.
Logan heads to Japan to show respect for him and found that not only wrinkles Yashida (Haruhiko Yamanouchi) want to steal the secret to the immortality of Logan. But also that he had a daughter, Mariko (Tao Okamoto), who's about to inherit his fortune and. Is in need of a unique brand of Logan's bad defense. Why follow Logan was never really explained. Regardless Logan and Mariko to escape from the soldiers who die from tattoos yakuza, and some baddies samurai other style straight out of the playbook to kill the bill, including the execution of Nursing Yashida girls blonde (Svetlana Khodchenkova) which with a snake-y. Some of her own.
As the cost of the core and he hit the road, sparks fly and attack Ninja Wolverine begin to experience things he never had before - the actual fear of death. He absorbed the life force of his everlasting and now when he has been one of controversy sign-slice and dice, the wounds he suffers no corrosion and maintain. He was both physically and emotionally vulnerable in other words, all human makes Wolverine more than psychology full of questions. (His immortality was regarded as a curse) and the haunted character more interesting. There's no excuse for the film's airy dream Famke Janssen's Jean Grey, and the overall growth of the company, which leads to abnormal (And infinite) is the last half hour.
Over the past decade, the brand has become a virtual miracle to guarantee box office bang. But people who go to the company's quality control department really need to look into tightening up these movies. They did not know when to end. That said, it's worth pointing out two things Wolverine franchise (in addition to Jackman's wonderful is the strong and silent type, as Logan) The first is a sequence of actions that occur on the way in When Wolverine film will be dismissed at the top of the bullet train. By now we've all seen down hit a lot of the locomotives they have become similar numbingly but one of Wolverine so frantic and adrenalized (not to mention just some of the movies that will benefit from 3-D). become familiar again. The film also sticks the landing on the scene shortly after credits teaser that hints at the future development of the X-Men universe, I will not ruin the joy of what happened. But you have to hand it to Marvel for a deal that will leave the audience breathless in anticipation of the sequel after making them sit for two hours plus of a satisfying narrative.
