Seems like he is a better overall hitter than Snow, but if he dosent live up to potential that is probably a pretty good comp for what he would be.
As far as the superstar goes, I like signing guys as pieces of the puzzle via free agency. Those are contacts you can usually get out from under (see Dejesus' 3 year deal). You basically get one (maaaybe two) chances to spend a giant wad of cash on one player. Not to mention the draft pick you would likely lose as well. So another Soriano is a very real possibility in that case. Your MVP type should really be someone who you developed yourself (Castro) or who you aquired early in his career with lots of years of control left (Rizzo). If not, and you have to spend top dollar, you take a huge risk.
