Right now hes at 285-13-60something. Isnt that more towards what everyone wanted? Higher average fewer homers.

Yes, he seems to have pulled out of his major slump somewhat. Before these past few weeks though, he'd been pretty awful for several months, and of course against any lefty walking the earth.
Higher average fewer homers is certainly what I wanted, but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to accept Hank for what he apparantly is, because he was supposed to be David Wright before David Wright was around.
I can't believe we couldn't hit Loiza up for more runs than that. That one bad break on the double play really killed us. That and Lee is been absolutely awful since we left Arlington.
Let me ask you this. If we lose at least one of the next two games, and continue to inch backwards, at what point do you think about flipping Lee for prospects, assuming he cleared waivers?
