Bobby Howry

[J.R.]

"He's a professional,'' Piniella said. "I really enjoy having him in the clubhouse as a player and a person. He's A-1.

 

"I don't know why he didn't pitch well in Arizona this year. We'll give him an opportunity. Hopefully he can come back to the form he had (earlier in his career).''

Oh, Lou.

[E.J.]

Is there any doubt that we'll see Howry in multiple key situations late in games?

Yes.

Can he really be any worse than Grabow at this point?

[Sammy Sofa]

Based on their numbers so far this season he's already much worse than Grabow.

It was pointed out in the transactions thread in the Minor League forum that Patton has been reactivated by Daytona. Apparently he cleared waivers and was outrighted off of the 40-man roster.

Turned on the game last night and thought the pitcher looked like Howry. When I saw it was him I felt a bit nostalgic. It hasn't even been two years.

You felt nostalgic? I felt like I was going to throw up.

2007 and 2008 were 2 of our better years despite Howry's awfulness (mostly in 08)

Wait, are you serious? You think Howry was "awful?" in 2007? How the [expletive] are you coming to that conclusion?

I said "mostly in 08"... I guess "solely in 08" would have been better.

Yeah, he was pretty fantastic in 06 and 07. In hindsight, it's too bad we didn't trade him in that offseason because that was a terrific signing up to that point.
