Player Profile - Ryan Howard

"[For 2007] Bill James projects Howard to bat .326 (third-best in the NL) with a league-leading 56 homers and 148 RBI while finishing third in OPS at 1101. The power numbers are obviously in line with what he did this year, but to maintain that pop and raise his BA to a figure that James projects is just seven points behind the batting champion would be truly amazing. Essentially James is calling for Howard to just miss out on a Triple Crown."
