    His .501 OPS in AAA suggests otherwise.

    Braves obviously didn't properly weigh his potential contributions.

    He obviously wasn't as well-rounded as Colon.

    Would've been fun to see him with Gwinnett.

    I'm guessing today was going to be cutoff date for Howard. Either he gets ready and gets called up to be the DH in the Astros series or, cut him because what purpose can he serve if he's not ready to be DH?

    No problems with this.
