Justin Just Okay?

The Twins won Saturday afternoon, defeating the Royals 6-4. Morneau walked and scored a run, but went 0 for 3. His season averages are now .280/.346/.518, good numbers, but I wonder if Twins fans expected more? Those are all very close to his career averages, but given his great four months of 2006, and that he's twenty six years old, I really thought there was a good chance he'd carry that great finish over to 2007. It's a good year, it's better than the average AL first baseman this season (.269/.348/.447), but it's not the kind of season that carries a team. It also makes me believe his 2006 finish was a fluke, not a real improvement. I'm curious to have Minnesota fans weigh in. It doesn't look like the lung injury hurt him, as he played very well in July.
