I've watched him plenty of times. He may be quick but he is one of the worst base runners in the league and he is only going to get worse as he ages.

You say he has improved his plate discipline but the percentage of pitches he swings at outside the strike zone has increased each year.

Yea the people in Philly may be happy right NOW but we will see what happens in the midst of his this deal.


wat...where in the world do you get that from?

Howard isn't a bad base runner, seriously give me examples of how he's bad?

Just so you know he was 8-for-9 in Stolen Base attempts last season...

Of course he is going to steal bases, cuzblack.

There is a stat for baserunning. He was the 6th worst baserunner in baseball last season among full-time 1B at -3.4 EQBRR(Equivalent Base Running Runs).

Why would he need to be good at base running you fucking retart indian?

edit: srsly though, why does he need to be good at base running when we can just hit home runs, besides why we're not paying him for base running.

Where is this stat?

Howard isn't a great base runner because he's so big but I've never heard anyone consider him BAD like he's horrible. Phillies as a team have been the best base running team in baseball for the past several years, and Howard hasn't stuck out as a weak point in that.

Base running doesn't mean just stealing bases you scrawny gook. Base running also includes going from 1st to 3rd on a single, 2nd to home, etc.
