That's my guess as well. The biggest thing for Soriano right now is that his ground ball percentage is way up and his fly ball percentage is way down. If he starts hitting his usual percentage of fly balls during the summer with the Wrigley wind, he'll hit a pretty good amount of home runs, and that will increase his OPS even if his average slips a little bit. His GB/FB ratio this year so far is very abnormal for him. You have to go back to 2001 to see a compairable ratio. That year he hit 18 HR's. If he had the same GB/FB ratio as the last 5 years id be much more worried. Gotta start to hit more FB's, thats for sure. Since May 10 he has done a much better job at being more selective and has drawn more walks. His OBP isnt as dependant on his averag as it was then. Trend or Streak???? Soriano is a lot like the pre-patient Sammy. He gets himself out by swinging at 2 strikes pitches out of the zone. IF he can lay off these 'bad' pitches better (he appears to be doing a little better) his OBP will rise quite a bit. Ive been very impressed by his ability to foul off pitches and stay alive in the count so I can see him raising his ISOD 30 points just by not swinging at the curves/sliders out of the zone late in the count. Whether he gets better at pitch recognition obviously remains to be seen.
