I suppose my response is:
(1) I never said Figgy had a "hot" second half.
(2) Are you saying there is no place for low slug high OB players? That a mediocrity in terms of power with little ability to draw walks is more valuable than an OBP guy who is an asset on the bases and forces the pitcher to work harder?
(3) My main point is that if you're going to unload a guy who still has some value, at least get some better value in return. A shiny prospect with Kouzmanoff as opposed to org filler would fit the bill nicely. If Figgy stays, that's alright by me to. Give him a chance to reestablish value, then move him for a better return after he does. This argument hinging on whether you believe him capable of doing so.
