I agree. Soriano has speed, but he is not a good hitter. YEs, he hits for a good average, but his OBP is not much higher than his BA. Also, a leadoff hitter should be working the pitcher. I realize Soriano has hit other than leadoff this year, but still he's a hacker with good bat control and not a good hitter. There is a distinction between the two. Soriano is more prone to streakiness because of his approach and that is a major reason I think Pujols is better.
