Listening to Stoney on the Score this morning, he seemed to be implying the same thing, saying he'd like to be on the same workout regimen Soto was on in the offseason. It's hard not to raise your eyebrows a bit when a player equals his career totals in homeruns in one year Is there a minor league expert out there that may know if Soto changed his stroke this year, ala Sandberg, or if his power surge is attributed to weight loss, etc. I love Soto and his current production, but it is difficult not to be skeptical on the means he might have pursued in order to do so. I don't think it's difficult to not be skeptical. He's hitting the age when power develops. He got himself into shape last offseason as well. I heard Stoney say that too, and i then repented for listening to the score. Its bull. He lost weight, not gained it. He realized after six years, that his future could be different if he got into shape. That said, I think he gets figured out by the league next year, and possibly in the playoffs against good pitching and with ALL the opponents' scouts watching him.
