first of all i'm pretty sure this is the wrong forum, but since i have mora and am dealing with the same situation i'll lend some advice. i do think his numbers will be below his career avg., but i think the numbers he'll end the season with will still be pretty good. i just think that it's a long season, and if he hasn't shown in past years that he can stick it out and perform well throughout, why would he now. maybe it's a decrease in concentration, maybe he's just injury prone, who cares, the fact is the guy has some bad mid-season splits. so i'm trying to trade for value that's probably above reasonable and thinking that if it goes through then great, and if not then i have a 1st half stud with 2nd half risk. if i were you i'd try to package him with a somewhat disposable pitcher for a guy like aramis ramirez. i wouldn't do that now, maybe wait 'til ramirez has a bad week or something. i'm trying to go after aubrey huff because i've heard he's even better in the 2nd half, so we'll see what happens.
