    This is all crazy talk. The Howard contract is horrendous. The only thing that got me giddy about it is the commitment from the organization to its proven players. But I'm taking Tex, Poop Holes, Fielder, A Gone, Miggy, and possibly Morneau over Howard any day. Howard is a product of this lineup for the most part. Put Howard on Cincy, Pitt, KC, or any other garbage team and no pitcher pitches to him, he doesn't end up with more than 35 homers, and continues to strikeout or hit a home run with even less people on base due to there no being three all stars hitting in front of you. Love Howard, but this is all crazy talk.

    Another spot on post from someone who knows his baseball.

The numbers don't lie albert is the only player who is better then howard at that posotion joey voto is a joke of a comparsion.

    now show their OBP, OPS, and BA vs LH. and we wont even talk about defense.

    If you think howard is a better hitter than cabrera you are delusional

    as for RBI...oh well, I tried. some people will just never get it

    Just fooling around on baseball-reference and calculated these:

    Pujols .335/.441/.637/1.078

    Cabrera .318/.394/.554/.948
    Gonzalez .285/.369/.515/.884

    I only did against lefties for Howard, Fielder and Gonz as it really doesn't apply to the other 3:

    Howard .232/.321/.461/.782
    Fielder .259/.336/.493/.829

    Hasn't Fielder gone up in those numbers too? I think he's the forgotten one in this argument. He's basically Ryan Howard but 5-7 years ago - for better, worse, fatter, and more vegetarian.

    So for obp howrds 5th and for slugging and ops he's 2nd.then u add the fact that he's number 1 in hrs and rbi's.

    This is being greatly skewed by his MVP season which was 4 years ago. I tend to look at the past 3 seasons. That looks like this:

    .266 .363 .565 .928

    well he's replacing jroll right now so that makes perfect sense.

    nah, that's little league shit. like guarding the line in the 9th inning with a 1 run lead...something howard failed to do last week that led to the tying run (vs SF). but most fans see he had an RBI in the box score and don't notice that type of stuff

    nope. you missed the sarcasm and i thought i layed it on pretty thick. he's replacing a guy who has made a career at swinging at the first pitch so it's only fitting he has bad at bats too. see where i'm going there?...wait for it...ah yes, there ya go!

    Ryan Howard:
    4 full major league seasons - averages of 49.6 home runs and 143 RBIs
    last 3 full major league seasons - averages of 46.6 home runs and 141 RBIs

    and as I mentioned before, 3 division titles, 2 world series appearances, 1 world series title and possibly on the verge of being the greatest 3 year post-season run by a National League team in over 60 years.

    the man is paid to hit home runs and drive in runs and does it at a prodigious rate for a team on a once in a lifetime era of baseball in Philly and possible all of the national league for a 70 year period. NUFF SAID.

    i disagree with that. i'd take a-rod or king albert over howard anyday. to say howard is the best any one of us have ever seen is just being philly bias. anyone of us would love him on our team but best baseball player we've ever seen, no chance.

    since your such a stats guy go look at howards career ba obp , slg and ops so far and compare it to king alberts. also go check out whose got more mvp's.

    This says nothing that has not already been stated. Yes, the entire world knows, Ryan Howard is a very good player on an excellent team. This cannot possibly be an argument for why he is better than another player or worth the contract he got.

    Unless I am mistaken, Poop Holes is in reference to Pujols, say them out loud with me.
