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.

2009 Monthly Splits:

March/April: .338/.461/.592
May: .277/.415/.415
June: .169/.266/.241
July: .307/.392/.534
August: .287/.398/.506
September/October: .200/.338/.286

I actually just looked at his stats last night because I was under the same perception he had a terrible 2nd half, where he only had a bad September/October which wasn't nearly as atrocious as his June.

Also, Harden trade?
