Batting .259 with 9 RBI in the last 10 games. Only 4 of them starts. Does LF really need "fixed" ?

Attended 1976 World Series in my Mother's Womb. Attended 1990 World Series Game 2 as a 13 year old. Want to take my son to a a World Series Game in Cincinnati in my lifetime.
I imagine that with Stubbs out for a few days at least we will see if either part of Heiswig can get in enough of a groove to claim the job.
He's a real streaky hitter and even during his "streakiness", he's just ok.
I was a Ludwick advocate when the signing was announced. I have since repented of my error and want him gone. Yes, LF needs to be fixed.
Here is a bust of Ludwig. I could not find a bust of Ludwick.

He's had some huge hits and he is producing RBIs. Average is low, but he hasn't been getting consistant time. He has got more time of late and he's moving his ave. up and he's the reason we won yesterday. He has given the reds probalby 3 wins this year by himself.
Can't hit anything other than a fastball. Terrible plate discipline. K's alot. Not a fan of Ludwick. Too many hitters that are the same type. This team needs high BA/ high OBP guys to compliment a few HR hitters and Votto.
He's another one of those vets that Dusty just can't refuse from using in situations where he's awful. Don't use him against RHP. I do understand the next week may warrant something different with Stubbs out, but in any other games, it should be Heisey vs RHP, and Ludwick vs. LHP.
Ludwick has a .739 OPS. The Major League average for left fielders is .758. Tough crowd. But I guess until Rolen and Stubbs gets back, we need to pick on somebody.

See, I told you. Play Ludwick all the time!

Ludwick has sucked pretty hardcore this year. His OBP is atrocious too much the same hitter as most of the other position players. Considering his position, he's the obvious guy to replace. It's of course always ridiculous to pound a guy based on small samples, but one nice night to pick his peak OPS to defend doesn't work either. His last 3 years in concert with this year suggest we know the guy is an extremely replaceable part.
