Even if Hall falls at the halfway point between his 2006 and 2007 years, he's still a plus player. His defense still needs to improve (if he's playing CF), and his OBP is never going to be great, but he still has a lot of value. Trading him after his low point season isn't really a sound roster building strategy.

I look for Hall to hit about .280, with 25 HRs. That's not irreplaceable, but it sure is solid.

 

I think the defensive issues he had last year were improving as the season wore on too, I'd deal him if it made the team better, but this is not a guy you just dump because last season didn't go well.

I think we might need an off-season vent thread.

He'd probably start for at least 20 teams at SS alone.

In 2006 he was arguably the best SS in MLB. Last year was certainly a down year. But he was learning a new position. He also said he had significant problems generating power after he came back from his sprained ankle. (As that was his plant foot)

 

I will say however, he still has the cocky/over-confidence that bothers me. He is always trying to be spectacular. (See his injury jumping off a wall that I think he had no chance of catching) He also watches his home runs as much as anyone in baseball. (The problem is a lot of them fall short of the wall)

So I do wish he would hustle more. As a starting CF he is above average. As a SS he was great.

Bill Hall is one of those ballplayers that when you are at your drunkest and you decide to comment in BF.net, you can't possibly spell his name wrong. That has to be worth something.
