Ryan Howard struggles at plate in win over Pirates
by Kerry Kauffman | Wed, Mar 11th 5:06pm EDT
Ryan Howard started the spring 2-for-2, but has struggled ever since. He went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in the Phillies' 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. Howard's batting average has dipped to .211 in Grapefruit League play.
Fantasy Impact:
Howard's fantasy value has already diminished over the past few seasons with his decreased power and batting average. He's struggled to bounce back from an Achilles injury a few seasons ago. While Howard still can be a viable power option, he likely wont be an upper echelon slugger this season.
