On the surface is the key. Different tonic for what ales ya. Each of those players are all in a different part of their development, have had different amounts of experience and likely have different development opportunities. Different development needs = different treatment paths.
Also, there was enough smoke around Sven's attitude during the pre season and prospect camp that might give some indications as to the type of issues they are looking to correct with "tough love".
