I wonder which Moose we're liable to get from here on out -- first-half Moose or second-half Moose?

First-half bat, with that glove, even if he gets no better than that, he's a keeper.

Second-half bat, even if he fields better than Brooks Robinson and Graig Nettles combined, ain't gonna cut it.

And if the truth lies somewhere in between -- basically what he averaged out to at .240/.300/.400 -- I don't think that's good enough.

But that's debatable. His overall 2012 line (including fielding) was worth 2.9 WAR, which puts him 10th among MLB 3B and FIFTH among AL 3B. Not too shabby. For comparison, Ryan Zimmerman was 3.8 WAR.

Again, though, a good chunk of that is Moose's defense.

So how much bat can that glove carry?
