Howard. For as good as ARod has been this playoffs, I feel that Howard has been even better.
And ARod always has the potential to return to his old form.
i vote howard because so far, when it matters, he has been better on average
This depends a lot on how you define what matters. In the past three years the Phillies have made the playoffs by an aveage of three games, two years before that they missed the playoffs by an average of two games. To me, that is a pretty good indicator that the games between April and September matter a little bit, too. And in those years Howard was the best player on his team only once
Seriously? You're comparing the pressure of a 162-game season to that of the playoffs? We're going to have to agree to disagree on this one.
