Cubs catcher Geovany Soto says he has lost 40 pounds so far this offseason.

Soto endured a sophomore slump in 2009 and says that he feels like an entirely different person.

"It's weird, I feel like a 12-year-old," he said. "I have a lot of energy. I'm kind of wired all day. I have a little one now, and it has helped me at home. I give mama some rest. I'm active the whole day. I used to be a little sluggish -- like 'I want to take a nap.' Now I feel great and I just want to put myself in the best position to help the club.

"If I'm agile back there, that will give me the best opportunity to not get hurt. I just want to be there for my teammates."
