Alfonso Soriano's home run tonight makes it eight series in a row that he's hit at least one homer. That's the kind of consistent production that gets the attention of scouts. With the draft winding down Wednesday, Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer will be able to turn their attention to getting Cuban CF Jorge Soler signed, sealed and delivered, then swinging for the fences on a Soriano deal. Owner Tom Ricketts knows he'll have to pay the lion's share of almost $48 million due Soriano.
