Has Howard, who does not seem to be a stupid guy, learned one damn thing about hitting in the last 7 years. When he hits the ball where it's pitched, he's as dangerous as any hitter in baseball. When he stubbornly sticks with the upper cut, dinger swing, he 's a strike out waiting to happen if the pticher throws him a curve away or a low change.
I'd rather see his ass go and Werth stay. With all his foilbles, Werth is a much more complete ball player.
I know it's not PC to call Charlie stupid, so I'll just say he's 'pathologically loyal'. When a guy can't hit his weight, you've got to drop him down in the lineup.
