JP Howell over Wood?

Postby dubstar » Wed Jul 01, 2009 3:32 pm

Seriously, Wood isn't getting many opportunities. When he does it always seems to have bumps in the road. Is Howell a better option at this point? Rodney and Lidge have been dropped also.

I would grab Howell but let Wandy take the fall. I would think about Lidge over Wood.

Two months ago I wouldn't have thunk it possible but now I do. Howell is definitely more useful and productive than Wood.

I still think Wood is the only one of the list (other than Lidge) who will keep his job the rest of the year, so.....

no, I wouldn't drop Wood for the others.
