17 hours ago - philly.com
... all of the decent prospects Howard can draw in a trade. With that being said I still think he's one best yet most frustrating hitters to watch in the game. Ryan Howard is a great man and a Great baseball player. He works hard to improve and for months at a time during the season carries this team on his back.

He also has displayed a rocket arm in rightfield and an attitude that has drawn raves from the team's veterans. The Phillies will look for him to continue to develop his route-running and his power.

... that. Hes only sort of sure. And truth be told, he can totally see himself playing next year and furthering the record hes about to set. Every year around this time I say this is it, Im done, he said. Then I come back. I thought Toronto was the last place I was going to be playing. That was two teams ago.
