The first week and a half of the regular season couldn't have really gone much better for the Phillies. They started things off with a sweep of the Astros, then took two out of three from the Mets before heading down to Atlanta to face the Braves. The starting pitching has been solid, the bullpen has been outstanding, and the offense has been even better than advertised. That's why the first Phillie of the Week is coming from the offense. This week's Phillie of the Week is:
Ryan Howard
The big man has done everything right in the middle of the lineup so far this season. Despite being a notoriously slow starter, Howard has been excellent this year, hitting .406 with two home runs and ten RBI in the first eight games of the year. If he can keep this up, the offense will have very little to worry about.
