Don’t get us wrong here at the Bore, Ryan Howard is a great player. He hits 40+ home runs every year and 130+ RBI’s and that is rare in the MLB today. However, he only hits about .270 every year and leads the league yearly or is close to in strikeouts. These past two stats are not characteristic of a 25 million dollar man, instead closer to the Washington Nationals 12 million dollar man named Adam Dunn. Dunn hit 35+ and 100 RBI+ last year in a very friendly pitcher ballpark. He hit .267 and struck out just as much as Howard. While Howards numbers are better, he also plays for a much better team which could inflate his stats. So with Adam Dunn, a similar player to Howard making 12 million, why pay double for Howard?
