Soriano Confirms He’s Going Under The Knife

Since the news has come out that Alfonso Soriano will undergo season-ending knee surgery today, I figured this would be as good a time as any to do a quick overview of his disastrous 2009 season.

ESPNChicago.com had previously reported that Alfonso Soriano would have season-ending surgery on his left knee this Tuesday. Today, Soriano confirmed just that.

Soriano was in the midst of his worst year in the major leagues (.241, 20 HRs, 55 RBIs). You never want to have to go under the knife, but, if there was ever a good time this was it.
