In the grand scheme of things, that's not a terribly tragic down season for a 22-year-old superstar.

Barry Bonds didn't have a great season until he was 25. A-Rod, as was mentioned a few days ago here, had a down second season (when he was 21) that was awfully similar to what Soto is producing thus far. And it really wouldn't take much of a second-half uptick by Juan to equal or surpass Griffey's age-22 season.

Obviously, when you have thousands of dollars on the line, you don't love seeing your investment take a short-term hit. So maybe there's reason to panic in the short-term. But there's little reason to worry long-term.

My more immediate concern is that Schwarber has apparently been siphoning a little too much of that Soto mojo!

Don't bring logic, actual stats and previous examples in here. Soto should be mopping the floor of his local Denny's by August 1st.

His splits are insane:

.990 OPS on the road, .664 at home

1.005 at night, .587 during the day

My prediction has more merit than any of your Kevin Maas/Yasiel Puig comparisons - for those are not just laughable but downright idiotic.

Coached against him last year (travel baseball). He's out there marketing tryouts for a new team next year.

FP has gone radio silent.

Juanny 3 for 3 with a walk and 2 RBI's.

Good game for soto today.

hammertime · 06-30-2021, 05:24 PM

If he isn't leading the league in HRs he's a bum. RIP.

JohnnyHatesJazz · 06-30-2021, 05:25 PM

Add in two steals today as well. Just stole second.

rngrdanny22 · 06-30-2021, 05:25 PM

Nice game today. A couple of his hits didn't look too great though. Very late on pitches and hit grounders that just found holes.
