Runnys, I think that all players that have been able to survive in the bigs for ten plus years have learned to make adjustments. For us as the casual fans it is hard to see, but being able to make adjustments is the essence of being a big league player. Maybe Soriano has relied more on natural ability than most, because he is a truly special athlete. Which is why his continued struggles catching a fly ball piss me off so much.
Rok, his age and increasing frailty in the post steroid area is going to be a major concern to us for the next five years. We aren't going to be seeing players increasing their peak performances all the way through their thirty's any longer, and little dings are going to take a greater toll with more and more missed playing time. I just hope that the Cubs in the future are more inclined to give Soriano time off when he is dinged to increase his level of performance while he is on the field.
