2004 Pre all star: .223 BA, 10 HR, 36 RBI
2004 post all star: .305 BA, 22 HR, 63 RBI

2002 pre .244 BA (18 hrs, 62rbi)
2002 post .330 BA (15HR, 46 rbi) -production was there, average wasn’t
-and to a lesser extent 2006 he had a .252 AVG pre all star and .284 post…

You Carlos is injured, you put him on the DL and have Greean play first and keep the 3 center fielders out there: Chavez, Beltran, Gomez and you now have a very effectife team. Here is the solution.

But as of now he will hit only 12 homers and less then 100RBI’s And if they put him in back of the order, where he belongs he will get less chances to knock in runs, and less times AB to hit the long ball. The truth of the matter is, if he is still hitting close to 200, how long should they still be playing him every day? Should it be for another month, or two, or for the rest of the season?

He's probably played over 200 games there in his career, and he's not bad. It also improves our OF defense. Not saying that it's time to sit Delgado yet, but it could get to that, and if it does, there's no need to make a deal or to play Franco every day. John, the alternative to Delgado is Green at 1B.

Albert Belle, anyone? I don't think anyone knows whether this is happening to Delgado, but if it is, it would be far from unusual. Why are people always surprised when old players play like old players, and have serious performance drop-offs?
