How long will they keep walking Ryan Howard?

16 walks already -- pretty crazy, he's on a Bonds-pace...

Esp. since he is also averaging over 1 strikeout per game, hitting only .240, and doesn't appear to be hitting to the opposite field, which was his sweet spot last year...
I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    I haven't seen many of his ABs this year. Does it look like he's getting impatient at being pitched around and swinging at bad pitches?

    Bonds, for example, would almost never expand his strike zone in frustration of being pitched around and wound up walking 6 million times. I figured Howard and Pujols might get walked 5 million this year.

    Thats where the Phils will suffer this year, Pat Burrell is Howards protection? I dont know maybe the should bat Utley behind Howard?
