No, actually he wasn't. In fact, with the exception of a 3 year period between 2004-06 (less than half his career), he has been really very good. His lowest OPS outside of those 3 years was .778. His WAR has been 2.4 and above. Even in his bad 2005 year, he was slightly better than a replacement player.
In short, he hasn't been remotely close to being a replacement level player in 3 years.

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.
