Concerned Ryan Howard owner?
I am concerned that his strikeout ratio is not going to make him a rich mans adam dunn, i am worried it is going to make him adam dunn. I have him in a league as well and while i dont care about his strikeouts, i do care that unlike dunn, he doesnt draw many walks(dunn leads the national league in walks) so he is just kind of swinging wildly at the plate right now. He has already hit more homers this year in april than he did last year, but the average is way down. I expect by seasons end a .260 average and 45 homers with about 110-120 rbi still, but those are way to close to adam dunns stats. Howard did hit .313 two years ago, but otherwise has had seasons of .288 .282 (few at bats rookie year) and .268 last year. I do have a bad feeling Howard is headed for a Richie son type batting average year though. I partnered Howard with Miguel Cabrera in my draft to balance the batting average problem but strangely enough, its my other players who have been picking up my batting average slack (Chipper, Markasis, Ibanez and Pedroia) that Cabrera hasn't picked up yet. By patient with Howard though, he still will perform in two categories for you.
