...When Soriano came up...he was all liners too...his HRs were going just over the fence routinely back in 2001/2002. Then he learned to hit with upward leverage.
Tejada used to be a GB/LD topspin hitter just like Lopez...then he learned to get under the ball and lift it. Lopez has better bat speed than either of those hitters...the power potential is, therefore at least as great. I'll bet you anything (within reason) that Lopez' HR/FB is higher in 2010 than it is this year.
