Alfonso Guilleard Soriano (born January 7, 1976) is a Major League Baseball outfielder for the Chicago Cubs.
(Mark) Teixeira and (Hank) Blalock are power hitters. I'm not on their level. I'm a line-drive hitter who steals bases. Manny (Ramirez), David Ortiz, Alex (Rodriguez), those guys are power hitters.
When I look at myself on tape I can see that, but I just didn't make the adjustments at the time.
I just told him I'm confident. I had a couple bad games, but I'm comfortable at the plate. He's like my father. I like when he talks to me.
