wood injured (sort of)
Published 2/16/2007 by gaius marius at 1060west.net (archives)
... putting wood in the role of closer for as long as he may be able to endure it may not be the greatest risk this team will take this year, but it will form the bullpen around him and -- in the event of his remission -- leave a gaping hole in its most crucial spot. with dempster continuing to revert to pathetic career norms, it seems a far more durable solution to promote bob howry -- who has been the most effective reliever on the staff over his career -- and allow him to command the role as his own from the start. wood will certainly find use if and when healthy, but this bit of prudence may do much to maintain the stability of the bullpen over the course of the coming season.

Time to lay off Howry
Published 6/15/2007 by Jason at GoatRiders of the Apocalypse
... And this is as much directed at me as any of you.  Yes, Bob Howry was god awful early on.  And yes, he blew that one game where the Cubs came back and I ' ll never forgive him for that.  And yes...actually, that ' s all I ' ve got.   But the time has come to face facts.  He no longer sucks. I ' m not sure what happened, but somehow he managed to tag another 5 or 6 mph onto his fastball.  Given that he pretty much only throws a fastball, this is pretty important.  Along with the velocity has come results as evidenced by his 7 games in a row without allowing a run. Hey, there ' s still Scott Eyre.  Granted, he ' s gone from horrible to very bad, but there ' s still plenty of room there for derision. With Howry,

... series; we've done eight position players, six starter candidates and three relievers, for a total of 17 of the likely 25-man roster. Howry does, I suppose, still have a chance to be "The" closer. More likely, he'll be one of the better setup men in the National League again; I say he gets a handful of saves just due to game circumstances.

Spring Training Battles: Closer

... be penciled in the No. 4 or 5 spots for a lot of teams but they could both be in the minors on opening day, if they're still in Chicago. Personally, I wouldn't trade either one in a Brian Roberts deal. Pitching is just too valuable – and delicate. Lieber, Marquis and Dempster are all aging pitchers who are, at best, No. 4 starters. The bullpen for Chicago isn't too shabby either. Carlos Marmol, Kerry Wood, Bobby Howry, Michael Wuertz, and Scott ...

Does Fantasy Mirror Reality for the Cubbies?

... my closer as of last night. Kerry Wood will be my closer as I must match reality as closely as possible. Tom Jung, aka Kosuke Fukudome, has been just OK, hitting around .250 with a couple homeruns, but does have two game winning hits already. Alfonso Soriano and Derrek Lee lead the team in home runs with 7 a piece, while Soriano has the best batting average of any regular, hitting .337. The bullpen has been very good with the trio of Carlos Marmol , Bob Howry , and Kerry Wood all competing for innings. Scott Eyre , whose ...

... is our best option right where he is. Give the guy a break. Everyone blows games. No closer is going to go the whole season without screwing things up every once in a while. We’ve seen Bob Howry look really good since coming here at times and really bad at times. We’ve seen Marmol blow innings he’s pitched. Everyone does it. There is no reason to panic and start changing things that are working. Let’s not forget that we won the game, which is the ultimate goal. The offense continues to dominate, with Geo narrowly missing a cycle and Ramirez once again coming up clutch. Every ...

Nightmare On El Street: Astros 9, Cubs 7
Published 9/3/2008 by Rob (noreply@blogger.com) at 6-4-2 — an Angels/Dodgers double play blog
Ignore — for they had no effect on the game — the three errors by third baseman Aramis Ramirez. Ignore for the moment the fact that the Cubs lost this game, not because of a Kerry Wood implosion in the 11th inning, though the walk to Hunter Pence and the subsequent two-run shot into the right field bleachers by Geoff Blum was the proximate reason for the loss, and the pitcher to whom it was charged. No, this game was in fact lost in the sixth, when Bob Howry allowed five consecutive baserunners to reach, starting with a triple to leadoff man Pence, four of them ...

... at all, but no one seems to want to believe me. I have said a few times that I see another Riske type signing this offseason, and now that I think about it, Bob Howry would be a nice pickup for a few reasons...not only is his price going to be lower because of his subpar '08, but I think if you look at his last 2-3 seasons combined, he's probably been as good as anyone. ...

"He wants 100 percent to come back and doesn't want to go nowhere [else]," Soto said. Guess who's interested in Bob Howry? The Giants, who have made a cottage industry out of signing ...
