ryan howard

Howard, 2008 home run title winner, is in arbitration. He is asking for $18m. He hit 48 homers last year, well short of making it into the 60 homers club. He will be one of the ones to watch this year.

The All Star break is behind us. R. Howard is looking like he won't slow down on his way to the batting tile for most Long Balls in a season. He leads with a PHR of 47.5. This will be the first year in quite some time that no one will hit 50 or more homers. You have to wonder what effect random drug testing has had on the low home run production this year.
