In my opinion, for Cano it has always come down to whether or not he can develop some semblance of plate discipline. Even in '06 when he almost won the batting crown his OBP was just .365 compared to his .342 average. That's a ridiculous split. The league made adjustments, as it always does, to exploit his aggressiveness and until someone can teach him to be more patient on pitches outside the zone instead of hacking away trying to make contact he'll keep struggling. Mechanical issues or not, this has always been his downfall.

I think the difference with Sori is that he makes much less contact on his swings out of the zone. It leads to more strikeouts, but probably fewer poorly hit balls. Yup.
