PCL MVP Making Impact At Wrigley

Geovany Soto could be the Cubs' starting catcher in 2008.
Soto, the MVP of the Pacific Coast League this year, went 2-for-3 Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He also scored from first on a double and handled Cubs pitcher Ted Lilly well. It was the first time Soto had caught the left-hander, too.
"Look at his numbers at Triple-A and they're pretty darn good," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said of Soto, who batted .353 with 31 doubles, 26 homers and 109 RBIs for Triple-A Iowa.
"We liked him this spring," Piniella said. "He did a nice job last night with the pitcher, did a nice job swinging the bat, and scored from first on a double. He's a good-looking player. We're going to give him some playing time here in September. How much, we'll see. He didn't come here to sit."
