I can't disagree. Remember what Pentland did for Sammy? Whether you think he was on the roids or not, there was a definite change in Sammy's approach in 98 and after. That said, Aramis is further along at this point in his career than pre-98 Sammy, and I think he's already closer to his ceiling, so I don't expect an insane jump in his numbers. Soriano is also a guy who could benefit from the right approach. There is no reason Aramis shouldnt have an OBP around .375 Yeah, Soriano needs to layoff the curve balls away and out of the zone like sammy finally did. Recognize quicker. Aramis needs to wait for his pitch more and see more pitches, Soriano needs to stop chasing bad balls.
