Fantasy: How Bad is David Ortiz?

I thought it was brilliant to pick him up in all three of my leagues, since I picked him up rather late and he was coming off a bad season.  I didn't need him to hit 45-50 HR, but I'd be fine with a .300 30 HR season.  But what the hell is happening?  He has no HR and doesn't appear able to hit even in batting practice!

Well my question now as an Ortiz owner, do you sell now and still get something, albeit greatly reduced, for him, or am I better off just holding on and hoping he can turn it around?  The two best offers I've gotten for him in my AL-only league (many teams say they don't want him at all) are Ortiz and DelCarmen for Crisp and Floyd (I can replace him rather easily) and Ortiz and DelCarmen for Ken Griffey Jr. and my choice of Brian Tallet or B.J. Ryan.  

It pains me that his stock has fallen so far so fast, and I worry that I'll look like a moron if he comes back to form and puts up great numbers for someone else, but at the same time I'd feel stupid to not get something for him if he'll just keep putting up zeroes til he gets replaced in the lineup and is worthless.  What do you guys think of him and his performance for the rest of the year?
