He wasn't great, and he hasn't lived up to expectations, he had an obp of 375 last year, and he plays good defense. Fangraphs has him "earning" 18.4 million over the last 2 years while making 19.5 million. Not anything to write home about, but I think his miserable 2nd half o 2008 has tainted peoples view of him.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
He had a shitty 2nd half of 2009 as well. I think it's that pattern of inconsistency that pisses people off. You essentially had an all star for 2 halves of both seasons, and then a bum for the other 2 halves.

He was better in the second half of 2009 than he was in the first half. He had a higher avg, obp and ops+ after the all star game than before it.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
