who do you like better? This year? Long Term?

I like Dan Johnson for this year. And I give Howard the edge long-term. Johnson has the BB/K ratio to succeed quickly, while Howard should struggle to adapt to ML pitching. Howard has a 40-50 HR ceiling, while Johnson's is probably 30-35. I think Johnson will play the rest of the year even with Durazo coming back, and, unless traded, Howard will be back in AAA tearing it up.
