where did I complain about him? Rofl. I just said that Ryan Howard is asking for about 7 times his market value which means he's gone insane or he signed with Boras since that's what he does. The Boras thing was merely a fucking joke and it's obvious that you had no intention of contributing anything to my argument that Ryan Howard may be the most overrated player of the last decade. I mean, people forget that he's barely arby eligible and he's going to be 29, can't hit lefties, and doesn't get on base enough. How the hell that's worth 20 million dollars is beyond me.
Say what you want about A-Rod and his love for manly strippers, but the guy can draw walks, get hits, and is always a tough out. Even Soriano has improved on his terrible strikeout rate and oh by the way, he's also younger than Howard.
I'm very wary of these guys that somehow magically find their stroke right as they should be reaching their prime and try to bank off one great year. If he can put up a line like his 06 line for the next 2 years, I'll retract my statements but until he does so, I have to continue to believe he's terribly overrated and not worth it. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that the guy has a lot of issues as a player, just the ability to read stats.
