I'd love to know why you hate the color of his skin so much.

For Howard think of a Cecil Fielder of Mo Vaughn career path. For Cabrera, think Frank Robinson, Mickey Mantle, or Hank Aaron career path. There isn't a single hall of famer on Howard's most comparable list. In Cabrera's most comparable there are 6 hall of famers, and 3 future hall of famers just in his top 10. Look at all of that and tell me why Howard deserves to even be mentioned in the same breath as Cabrera. Howard is an All Star caliber player. Cabrera is a Hall Of Fame caliber player. Just to play the devil's advocate, we all know that's due in large part because of the age at which the two players made their respective debuts, and you'd be hard pressed to find any "slugger" through age 28 or whatever Howard is that has such minimal production, but in their 1st 2+ seasons, it's not bad at all. It's too late for you to try and 'support' a black player.

I'm not going to say anything game related since I'm sure it'll be construed as racism. Of interest was the scouts section had 5 or 6 guys, none of them regulars who were there to scout the Marlins, notably Willis. One guy who was in a green shirt with a huge World Series ring (and an equally large plug of tobacco) pulled out the radar gun for Dontrelle's first inning, shook his head in the second inning before putting the gun away and then brought it out again for Pinto's second inning of work. :mischief 2 Perhaps Pinto's played his way onto a few teams radars. At this point, if it isn't Hanley, Cabrera, Hermida or Willingham, I'd hope we're listening. It is important to note, though, that none of the regular scouts were at the game tonight, and none of the ones that were there tonight were all that friendly. :mad
