I do believe that Pablo Sandoval ultimately will get serious about his conditioning. Remember, a lot of younger players have gone through this, too, including Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum. What Sandoval doesn't understand yet is that if his body does not allow him to perform at an optimum level, he is essentially slapping Giants management in the face. The team gave him the benefit of the doubt by giving him a three-year, $17.5 mil deal. He needs to reciprocate by staying in shape.
