Alfonso Soriano still isn't ready to commit to playing outfield for the Washington Nationals, so a resolution will have to wait until after the World Baseball Classic. A two-hour meeting with team officials Thursday failed to produce a breakthrough, and the parties essentially agreed to put off the problem. "We've been pretty clear about being unclear," general manager Jim Bowden said. Soriano will be allowed to work out at second base with the Nationals for the first few days of spring training because that is the position he will play for the Dominican Republic.
