Ryan Howard, who recently signed a three-year deal worth $54 million with the Phillies, reported to spring training on Friday looking noticeably slimmer. "Both sides were happy with it," Howard said of his new deal. "I thought we were able to get a deal where both sides felt good about it." The new contract pays Howard $15 million this season, $19 million in 2010 and $20 million in 2011. It also means the Phillies won't be in arbitration with their cleanup hitter the next three years. Howard admitted that he dropped around 20 pounds. "I wanted to get to a playing weight and feel good, feel light, feel fast [and] strong and go from there," Howard said. "I definitely feel better. Endurance is better. Everything -- my whole body -- just feels a lot better."
