Ryan Howard

Ryan Howard hit his 45th HR tonight to go along with driving in his 115th, 116th and 117th runs of the season.

I have little doubt that he is now among the elite players in all of baseball and should be a Top 3 pick in every draft next year.

If you have him, I see little in the way of offers that could pry him loose. Replacing the HRs is impossible.

If he is under-priced - likely due to mid-season call-up last year and Thome hanging over his certainty of playing time - then he is likely the most under-valued player in your league.

To replace the production and the value, a team would have to basically destroy their team to meet the price.
