Thing is, that's my point though, all he is is a power hitter. No average, no defense, so so on base %.
Only offense, power specifically, I would take Pujols, Hamilton, Caberea, Arod (Edit:) Agon over him any day. When considering all aspect of the game, I would add a whole bunch of players to that list.

280 career avg isn't bad,plus he's not as bad as a 1st baseman as people say. Is he great not at all does he suck not at all. Albert's in a diff league then anyone besides him Howards better then u think. He does some things so so and others great. How he affects a lineup dosen't show up just in his stats.
Howard carried the team into the 2009 World Series. He just couldn't figure out Damaso Marte. It happens. It's a game of matchups. In 2010 playoffs he was injured - maybe he shouldn't have been playing.
utley was injured in the 09 WS too. that um, didn't effect him
It's so nice to see Howard's bat making moves. Francisco has been on fire, too. Not sure how long it's going to last, but I'll take it. Also nice to see Chooch making an appearance
By the way, nice to have some new folks on here. First thing you need to do is choose your side in the Great Ten Club Philadelphia Ryan Howard Debate.
haha. I agree on both accounts. welcome, and I'd like to apologize in advance

How any Philly sports fan can dislike him is beyond me. Production is not appreciated by all and it blows my mind.
never said I didn't like the guy. just that he's overrated. only thing I hate is his contract (and his fielding...and baserunning...and ABs vs lefties)
She's been out there almost 15 years and was never a big fan at home. Since they're raising kids out there and all they just root for the Denver teams (I don't think they like the Avs). They hooked me up with a ticket to the 98 AFC Champ Game vs. the Jets - Elway's last game at Mile High. That was fun.
I usually get the upper hand in making fun of them in the Phils v Rockies games, which are always entertaining (except for the 2007 debacle, of course).

howard is a black adam dunn.
put dunn in the phils lineup and he puts up the same numbers (just a higher OBP). fact

dude, he's a terrible first baseman. only 1b I've ever seen field throws from infielders with two hands.

No one's yelling it's just a good old discussion. Adam Dunn's numbers don't come close to Howard's numbers. Dunn avgs 40 and 99 Howard avgs 47 and 139.

howard is better than dunn. just saying that if dunn played his career in the phils lineup they would be similar.
also, howard's MVP year really skews his career avgs. unfortunately, he will never come close to a year like that again.

if you're hurt, don't play. weak excuse
for what it's worth it looked like it affected him in the nlcs when he hit .211 and had as many strikeouts as hits. he was obviously an out of this world beast in the world series, but if the r6 wasn't hitting on all cylinders leading up to that point, we may not have even gotten there.

the goal on offense is to not make outs, so yes, walks are always good. I wish howard did more of that
valdez has to make that play
I always thought it was to score runs, but I guess I'm just stupid.

Absolutely and fair enough. And it's not like I don't understand why you guys like him, I get it, just don't agree.

howard's 2nd in the league in runs created per 27 outs.
the nl brand of baseball is so much more enjoyable than the al.
better chance of scoring runs when guys are on base right?
school is in session, let me know if you have other questions
johnny, I'm in philly tonight thru sunday. let me know if you want to grab beers
totally agree. way more strategy. the managers actually have to think
EDIT: valdez is the opposite...haha
