Fantasy Impact:
Howard is one of the only top players in this class who is viewed as a sure thing to remain at shortstop upon getting to the big leagues. That gives him a lot of "real life" value playing a premium position. His bat will determine whether or not he becomes a star. The good news is Howard has superb bat speed and enough swing rotation to project some power in the future. If everything breaks right we could see a .280 hitter who hits 20 homers and steals 30 bases at his best.
