He isn't the fielder that everyone makes him out to be either in my opinion.

Batting average is still largely overrated, but Howard does one thing well and one thing only. He K's way too much, he has putrid defensive skills, and he's a sack of lead on the basepaths. The guy is a 1 tool player. I looked it up, and he was a 1.6 WAR player this year.
That is ****ing pathetic. It's damned near Vernon Wells territory.
For a frame of reference, 2009 Skip Schumaker was a 1.8 WAR player, and 75 games of Master Allen was 2.6 WAR
