Rob is right that Mora may never again be an All Star, and he’s almost certainly right that he’ll not hit .360 or whatever he’s at today the rest of the way.
But Mora has always been a bad contact hitter who clearly knew the strike zone. He’s taken plenty of walks, which is why he has a big league job. As a fantasy player that’s why he’s on my team. And if my team does well this year I want credit for that.
It’s perfectly reasonable to assess the possibility that MM will sustain his hot streak, and essential that we evaluate his 2nd half contribution based on his first half stats. But most importantly we should look at a player’s skills and talents. THe aggregate history of players in a similar postion matters, but it doesn’t tell the whole story.
