The Phillies are an offensive machine and his power numbers are high, but what's happened to Ryan Howard's batting average? In 2006, he hit .305 and last year he hit .268. But in the current campaign the All-Star first basemen is hitting just .205 and is mired in a 2-for-14 stretch. Sure he has 15 homers and 43 RBIs, but his struggles can't be ignored. The worst part? He has 82 strikeouts in 215 at-bats, projecting to over 200 for the season.
