            I wonder how many guys currently in the baseball h.o.f. Would test positive for p.e.d.'s if they went back and tested their samples the way the cycling anti doping agency did with Lance Armstrong?

            One would think that with the amount of money that's involved in pro sports, athletes have incentives to seek out the best technology to avoid detection.

              In his prime Howard was one of the best ever but the thing is he was a 25 year old rookie then fell off at age 30 he would have to have a lot more production to make it.

                Probably a first ballot HOFer.

                And with that 90+ MPH fastball of yours you may have to wait for a year or two before the writers put you in Tony.

                  3 great years and 3 good ones is not enough. He'll need at least 2 more great years or needs 175 more homers to bet to 500. Otherwise no hof

                    Fastest to 100 and 200 homers...it's too bad he spent some unnecessary time in the minors but far from a HOFer. Fell apart once he finally got paid, don't blame him as the Phillies dicked him around for a long time. Though the injuries are probably the real cause of his downfall.

                    He has been mediocre lately but his numbers really are pretty solid for his career.

                        He finished the season with 146 RBIs and a .251 batting average. Historically speaking, this was a statistical aberration, and is by far the lowest batting average ever for any season in major league history in which a player topped 130 runs batted in.[28] On defense, he led all major league first basemen in errors, with 19

                        This pretty much sums up his career.

                            He had 4 phenomenal years from his mvp season in 06 through 09. Not sure of the exact numbers but he averaged around 50 homers and 140 RBIs for those 4 years. Tailed off a bit the next two years as he fought some injuries and tore his Achilles in the 2011 NL final out and that was the end of Ryan Howard and the phillies.

                              His prime was like 2 seasons and they pale considerably when compared to HOF players in the game today that have sustained long term success. Maybe he's in the Phillies HOF..

                                He might get in eventually if he can play a few more years, don't think it will be in his first few years though. Terrible Batting Average, A-lot of HRS, and bad defense. If you put him in, you have to put in Adam Dunn too.

                                          Ryan Howard could not start on 10 major-league baseball teams right now

                                          Guy not even remotely close to a Hall of Famer

                                            Not a hall of famer I would say. Very good power hitter, but thats about it.

                                            Did not put up enough numbers consistently for years.

                                                    No, but it's not like its far fetched for a guy like him to make it.


                                                    If he made it to the big leagues a few years sooner he would be in most likely cause hed hit over 500 hr's

                                                      Ryan Howard and Hall of Fame shouldn't be in the same sentence.

                                                      He sucks.

                                                      He does have huge nostrils though. Props for that.

                                                        I'd give him about a 1% chance to make the HOF, and that's only if he gets back on roids and starts mashing again.
                                                        Howard was a flash in the pan.
                                                        Never hit for average, and whiffs too much.
                                                        He basically has no chance.
                                                        Anyone who's watched him play in the last 2 years can tell how much roids helped his game.
                                                        Some guys can get off roids and continue tearing it up, but he obviously needed the help.

                                                            He might get in sooner or later bc he has never been involved with PED, I think we will see some guys get special treatment in the near future bc of this

                                                                Hey TonyTallTales,

                                                                You probably don't know how to take a solid dump without your mothers help and the only contacts in your phone would be your dealer, your Psychiatrist and 5dimes *************** line.

                                                                You come to the Bash and throw in the 90's (mph not kms or anything) and we will give you a pile of cash. I am in for $500. Anyone else?
