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.


fucking lul'd hard

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.


you fucking retart indian, i know what base running is.

why the fuck would we need him to be good at that when Werth can just bring him home with a home run

k, sit the fuck down.

and one more time, we're not paying him to be a good base runner from 1st to 3rd.

Is that like your whole argument of him not being worth 25mil?

Fucking retard indians are retart

So if we didn't pay him that, where would we go and get 50 home runs / 140 rbi's?

He lost 20 pounds.

His defense is much improved from mediocre.

He hits the most hrs and rbis in the league.

He strikes out a lot, but at least he's not grounding into double plays when he strikes out.

He's a top10 player in the league.
