Contemplating using Howard in a pitchers park -- wouldn't give this a second thought, except for it's a franchise league. He'd bat sixth behind a lot of obp. How are his run production numbers in that scenario? I like his big three non-ballpark dependent home run rolls. But wonder if I'd be better served with another obp machine, like Brouthers.

I would say it depends on how much of a pitcher's park for LHB. If there are 9+ BPHR for LH batters then Howard may be a good idea (at least 1 HR guy on a small ball team is not a bad idea), but if you are in a Petco, Forbes, Griffith...Brouthers might be the man. (I am injury averse...so Howard does have the no injury advantage)
