They both suck, but for some reason, Lou seems to like Howry, so it’s likely that the only way we’ll be rid of him is if he’s eaten by pirahnas.

I’m going with Cotts here. As bad as Howry has been, he’s still stranded something like 19 of 21 baserunners when he comes into an inning to get out of a jam. Maybe if Lou just learns not to have him start an inning, he could be useful. Cotts is useless no matter when you use him. To think I ever defended that piece of shit.

Howry. At least Cotts is a lefty. And he hasn’t given up the same number of horrible home runs.

“At least he’s a lefty” is the new “innings eater” as an excuse for crappy pitchers.

uh isn’t that the other way around?

Either way, it’s a crap excuse.

Cotts, hands down. I’m with Mike D on this one. Howry at least has a history of being good with teh Cubs. Cotts was never good, at least not while we’ve had him. I’d have rather kept Aardsma. At least the Aardvark had a cool name. Personally, I’d rather toss them both overboard, but I’d push Neal first. Unfortunately, I think Cotts is gonna stick around, just because he is a lefty. The emergence of Samardzija makes Howry somewhat expendable, but since our farm system seems devoid of lefties, Cotts gets a pass. In a perfect world, he’s chum.
