Definitely Safe ... As much as I hated to see the way Steve has handled things recently, his second half CANT be as bad as the first half. I think Steve is a player that needs to be confident(or cocky if you will to play well). After the incident with JVG I think he started to get some of his ego back that he had put on the side-burner for most of the first half of the season. He's going to play much better.
I'm counting the days until the deadline, looking forward to the probably three month reprieve from the "trade Steve" threads.
