Gathright deal not paying dividends

[Fishercat]

J.P. Howell gave up three runs and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings Saturday in a loss to the Mariners.
A fluky triple play made the outing look better than it was. In the first inning, Seattle had Jose Lopez on third and Adrian Beltre on first when Raul Ibanez struck out on a 3-2 pitch. Beltre broke for second on the play, but pulled up short of the base when catcher Dioner Navarro's throw easily beat him to the base. Shortstop Zobrist caught Navarro's throw and took a few steps before tagging out Beltre as he headed back toward first. Zobrist then threw home and Navarro tagged out Lopez on his attempt to score from third. Howell, who is 0-2 with a 6.43 ERA, might be bounced from the rotation with Jae Seo returning. It could depend on how Brian Stokes performs Sunday.

So, who has been more disappointing to their new teams? Seo (LA and TB) or Howell (TB). I mean, major talent (or notable) got dealt for these guys, and they suck

I never thought Howell would pay off for Tampa, and I never will until something gives.

Seo on the other hand, eh, they only gave up Hall and Slippery Hendrickson, right? I think Hall was on his last thread with the Rays anyways.

Gathright hasn't exactly been great since arriving in KC either

How good was this deal for the Rays? Even though nobody could have saw Howell becoming great, that trade just goes to show that you can't lose by exchanging an outfielder with speed and defense but can't hit at all for any pitcher with some upside since you can always convert him to a reliever should he not pan out as a starter.
