Ryan Howard Makes #3 of the Best First Basemen of 2010

First Base is the strongest offensive position by far in 2010. Three out of the five players that were on the list in early June have made it back this time around. The number one first basemen may also be MVP this season.

3. Ryan Howard, Philadelphia Phillies: Ryan Howard had a hot June and July to move himself onto the top five list at number three. Howard is hitting .302 with 22 home runs and 78 RBI’s. I think the Phillies who are currently in second place in the NL East, will come back and take the division away from the Braves. The Phillies biggest problem has been injuries and lack of offense. Howard, after starting off real slow has turned things on and is now on fire. The rest of his team should follow his lead because with their talent they should easily take the division. Instead they will have to hope that they can make up for lost time and barely beat out the Braves in September.
