A slight slip in the triple crown stats, but Howard is actually going to be a better hitter in 2007. He's going to draw a ton of walks, of both the regular variety and the "take our chances with Pat Burrell" type, and he'll continue to punish just about everything else.
EDIT: Thanks to jonk for pointing out that I failed to revise his SLG down when I bumped his OBP as I was working this out. I think it'd take about a jillion doubles to get a .670 SLG with only 48 homers.

Morons will wonder where his power went, and think of this season as a disappointment.
Re: Community Projection: Ryan Howard
Personally, I think Howard hits around .290-.300 with an OBP around .400 and a SLG around .600. If he breaks 1.000 OPS, I will be surprised (but not too much so).

Re: Community Projection: Ryan Howard
Lastyear he had 581 ABs and this simulation is predicting 570. 11 more ABs and 14 less homers add up to just 12 more doubles (or about). Either way, he'll need to be a stud to hit 37 or so doubles, 44 homers AND walk 130 times. I sure hope it happens, cause I think we'll need it.

The last two years, generally, when Howard hit the ball hard enough for an XBH, it went out of the park. He'll probably get fewer XBH this year, but I can't see the rate changing too much. He can't be Babe Ruth for a full season, but he's going to be an on-base machine with huge power, which is still a wonderful thing.
What, you want me to do math?

In the perverse logic of Philadelphia sports, Howard did himself no favors by performing so well last year.
