I'm going to take a slightly different tack here and say, "No, I haven't heard this before." Not exactly. What seems different is a stronger sense of commitment from Sano to work hard(er) over the off-season. Yeah, we can all say, "We'll see" ... something we can say about anyone. But it does seem to me that maybe Sano has matured a little and is understanding the correlation between off-season work and in-season production. And for those that are taking this thread off-track into ABW realm, and expanding rosters ... knock it off.
