But I have to call your use of Howard's 2003 strikeout total as evidence of a hole in his swing and then neglecting to mention his 2006 strikeout total...<BR/><BR/>Buster Olney: Sky -- In two years, with the adjustments, he made in his swing, he went from a Class AA question mark to NL MVP, hitting .355 in the second half, with a .751 slugging percentage and a .509 OBP. If you want to shoot holes in that with his strikeout total, that's your call.</B><BR/><BR/>Now I'm really confused. He didn't answer the question, right? (Or the statement, or whatever.)<BR/><BR/>Hard to pin this whole thing on Buster. Who knows who writes those frontpage teasers?<BR/><BR/>Anyway. Strikeouts: not that bad.dakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02768386460112735397noreply@blogger.com
