Cool story bro.
PHINALLY! Someone agrees with me!
they are going to trade him to SFG for matt cain
I saw Howard in person during the 3-game Marlins series in Miami. A homer landed pretty close to my seats. But man, what a horrendous fielder. I'd have more faith in Ortiz at first than this guy.
If Ryan Howard hadn't disappeared for 3 of the 6 months of the season, there wouldn't have been a need for him to "carry the Phillies into the playoffs" because they would've wrapped up the division pretty early.Quote:

Depends who the alternatives are and at what price. In the entire game, Pujols obviously, and he's even a few months younger than Howard but has been around for over three years longer.
I don't care about the strikeouts.Quote:

Agreed, plus I think he's already peaked, so he wouldn't be in my top 5 even.
Yep. He's got the body type and the statistical profile to fit right into the Cecil Fielder career path.
And he's already started his descent downward.
