2nd half breakdown guys

[stumpak]

A lot of people seem toput huge stock in second half numbers, in fact there is a thread going on right now on this topic. I don't dsipute that this is a solid indicator to take into account, but by that logis isn't it also useful to think about guys who were crappy in the second half relative to the first. A few candidates come immediately to mind:

Kolb
Mulder
Craig Wilson
Sabathia

It is always interesting to me how guys that do great in the second hald are touted as "breakout" performers while guys that suck are said to be "worn down" or "tired".

Last year...Manny Ramirez, Hank Blalock had huge drop off's in the second half. Huge.
