Jordan Howard is okay. I know that’s not exactly a ringing endorsement. You might be upset that he’s just “okay”. That’s okay too.
There’s a case for concern and there’s a case for success. Neither side making those cases would be wrong and the debate would rage on for months. Only September would save us from the hyperbole and even that’s an optimistic end date.
The trade itself is exactly what you’d expect from Howie Roseman. Move a crap-shoot, late round selection for a proven, low-cost commodity. It won’t take much for Howard to make the return on investment worthwhile.
