Harry Howell was traded from the New York Highlanders to the St. Louis Browns for the 1904 Season, and while he lost more games than he won, the Browns were not that good. Howell was a starter for five seasons, and he had three years where he had an ERA under 2.00, and in all of those years, his WHIP was under 1.100. In four of those years, he was in the top ten in ERA, despite his losing record.
Howell was essentially banned from the game for trying to bribe a judge to reward a Hit to Napoleon Lojoie, which would have earned him the Batting Title. Realistically, Howell was hardly playing anyway, and his career was already over.
Howell was also a good batter, and could also play Third Base or in the Outfield if needed.
With the Browns, he had a record of 78-91 with 712 Strikeouts.Most Complete Games (1905)
