J.P.-Howell
James Phillip Howell (born April 25, 1983, in Modesto, California) is a Major League Baseball left-handed pitcher. He is an alumnus of Jesuit High School in Sacramento, California and the University of Texas at Austin.

Howell is a soft tosser. He throws his sinking fastball in the mid 80's, topping out at 87 MPH. He also throws a curveball that's been described by scouts as "heavy" because of its extremely sharp downward break. He throws a changeup that breaks away from right-handed hitters. Howell has good command of all three pitches.

Howell made his Major League Baseball debut with the Kansas City Royals on June 11, 2005. On June 20, 2006 Howell was traded to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays for infielder Fernando Cortez and outfielder Joey Gathright,and made his Devil Rays debut on August 1, 2006.
