Alfonso Soriano

Alfonso Soriano has been named National League Player of the Month for June, and you couldn't find a more deserving player. Soriano hit .336, with 11 home runs, 18 RBIs, and 41 hits. Twenty of those hits went for extra bases, with seven doubles and two triples.

Soriano has also been picked for his sixth All-Star Game in a row.

Soriano got off to a slow start in April and May, but he came on like gangbusters in June. Lou Piniella has speculated that the warmer weather may have helped. I know it helped me, so I won't debate the point.
