Nick Johnson

MLB Trade Rumors: Nick Johnson Signs Extension

With the three-year contract, there is no chance of Vidro moving to 1B and Soriano playing 2B in 2007 and beyond.

Vidro is a $23 Million 2B who I would be surprised to see get more than 425 ABs in any season going forward.

There is no chance of Soriano garnering a long-term deal from the Nationals in exchange for part-time OF/ part-time 2B/ full-time ABs in 2006 with full-time 2B ABs afterwards.

Of course, that was Soriano's likely 2006 defensive role anyways except his spouted off immediately about not playing the OF. Hopefully, the only advisor he had for that advice can be found in the same place OJ finds the killer every morning - the bathroom mirror!
