Aramis is slumping?

He's really streaky and usually does most of his damage in the second half.

But he leads NL 3B in RBIs and is tied for the lead in HR, don't know how he is suppose to break out of a slump he isn't in.

do you guys think pujols will bounce back to old form in the 2nd half?

Here's a perennial second half guy, but he's also an aging player in decline:

Bobby Abreu.

I'd try to steal him away from an owner, as he (and the Yankees) can't be bad for the entire year. (By the way, no Yankee fan here, just plain common sense.)

Part of the question (and the title of the post) is who is a second-half player. In the past, Aramis has been a strong second-half player. Hopefully, he can get even better than he has been so far this season.

I doubt Aramis is going to have a huge 2nd half this season. Considering he's having such a good 1st half. His great 2nd half normally brings his sorry 1st half up to where his numbers should be. I don't see him having an amazing 2nd half. If he does he will most likely be a top 10 player, I just don't see that happening.

do you guys think pujols will bounce back to old form in the 2nd half?

I'm wondering the same. For the first month of the season, any question of Pujols' effectiveness was laughed at and dismissed. Now, I'm wondering if there's any reason to believe he's going to play any better than the level he's at now (.300, on pace for 24 HR, 75 runs, 75 RBI). Any apologists still here? As a Pujols owner, it'd be very reassuring to hear some compelling arguments for his potential return to form...

He's heating up. I've entertained some offers but I know that Pujols WILL go nuts at some point this season like all superstars do... i.e. Arod
