How is Soriano not on here? Also, way to jinx Rollins into playing better suddenly. He's suddenly on fire.

I don't think you can single out Soriano. Milton Bradley? Carlos Zambrano? Pretty much most of that team is underperforming. Basically you have tens of millions in payroll going to a bunch of guys who are paying less well than triple-A replacements from Iowa would.

Cole Hamels gets my vote for biggest bust pitcher while Josh Hamilton gets the nod for biggest bust hitter.

russell martin.... hitting 230 with 1 home run....manny isn't a bust, dodgers didn't have to pay him a dime for 50 games, and the second game back he went yard!

The Mets are all injured. What's the Cubs' excuse?
