    he is not young really is a late bloomer, hard to believe Ryan Howard is older than Beyonce.

    He is like 28 or 29. He was in the minors stuck behind Thome for a few too many years.

    I love the guy he's a great player, but with all that money he has in his bank account he should invest a little bit of it reducing the size of that humongous nose of his it's ridiculously unproportioned with the rest of his face ......................

    Only complaint is he has a tendency to strikeout often. Which is expected with power hitters.

    He will never be like Chipper Jones. Best young player of the last 17 years.

    Ken Griffey, Jr. for sure, started as a rookie at age 19 and quickly became the face of MLB for years

    Howard is a great player, but he really isn't that young

    Hanely Ramirez is better because he's a lot younger than Ryan Howard.



    But no one knows who he is because he plays in Florida.

    Kemp and Eithier. Howard is good but he doesn't have the solid all around game.

    Pujols may be the best young hitter I've seen in my lifetime, and unlike Howard, he hits for average and does not strike out that often.

    I obviously meant when Albert came up a few years ago, although a case can be made that he is still young enough to qualify today.
