If it has taken teams 9 years to figure him out, baseball needs new scouts. It is entirely possible he is just going to have a down year or is in a long, long slump.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

It's quite simple really. Soriano is aging and his bat speed has slowed. He needs to stop swining that telephone pole he uses and get a lighter bat.
