No, wrong, 100% wrong, again. Players don't go from being all star caliber players to being totally worthless in a blink of an eye. There's usually a trend, a gradual decline, not someone falling off the cliff performance-wise from one season to the next, that does not happen with any regularity. Is Soriano gonna get worse over the length of his contract? Yes, I don't think there's any question about it. Is he gonna fall off the map in terms of ability in one off-season? Not gonna happen.
He's hurt, he's been fucking hurt since about a month into the season. I don't know who's fault it is that he's been trotted out there almost everyday, but his perforamnce has been greatly affected by the fact that he is not healthy. It's really simple to explain actually.
