I think (hope) that Soto got a cold slap in the face by REALITY this past year. In 2008, when he's put in the work (practice,film), lost a lot of weight, and avoids distractions, he's an All-Star.
In 2009, when he blows a lot of weed, scarfs Cheetos by the bagful, carries around a sense of entitlement, decides to play in some meaningless exhibition instead of attending Spring Training, and shows up fat, confused, and unmotivated, he sucks donkey testicles.
I wish Jim would show him these two lists, and say "Pick one, asshole!"

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
