Soto’s 2009 was a disaster after his 2008 Rookie of the Year campaign. Soto never got it going with the bat, ended up losing at bats to Koyie Hill, and finished with a pitiful .218 average. Soto is a talented player, and I expect him to bounce back in 2010. If owners in your league are scared off by his 2009 campaign, take a chance on Soto. .270-65-20-75-0

Positives / Upside	Soto showed us what he is capable in his 2008 Rookie of the Year campaign when he hit .285, and added 23 homeruns and 86 RBI. There is no debating that his 2009 season was a huge disappointment, but even if he doesn't return to his 2008 form, he's a lock to improve in 2010. Rumor is that he has slimmed down some this offseason as well, and a more fit Soto is likely a better Soto.
Negatives / Downside	Last season Soto hit .218, scored 27 runs, hit 11 homeruns, and drove in 47. Quite a slide after Soto's breakout 2008 season. He'll have to correct a lot if he's going to become an fantasy asset, and anything less than a huge improvement won't make him all that desirable of an option.
