Ryan Howard: Low Avg, High Ribbies

Ryan Howard leads the majors by a good bit in RBI's with 133 (2nd is 124). Yet he is only batting .244 (a big improvement over the .160-something he was at in mid-May, I believe). Still, compare that .244 with the batting average of the others in the top 8 in RBI's so far this year: .312, .304, .289, .301, .302, .324, and .312. Only one below .300, and that one is WAY above .244. In fact, you got to go all the way down to Mark Reynolds, tied for 26th in RBI's in the majors with 92, before you find someone batting as low as Howard (Reynolds is just lower, at .242). Somehow, Howard is getting it done.
