Looks like Ludwick will be much needed for a bit here with Heisey possibly being put on the DL with a groin strain, and Stubbs not due back for a few more days.

Ludwick is what he is. Just wish he'd stop chasing everything low.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Anybody else get the impression that Ludwick is a "bad-pitcher hitter"?
If Ludwick's OBP was about 25-30 points higher, I think we'd all agree he would be more than adequate. Get that OBP to around .325-.335 and he's fine.

Per 162 games, Ludwick is on pace for over 30 home runs this season.

A .221 BABIP suggests that's a completely reasonable possibility moving forward.Originally Posted by Brutus the Pimp
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Thanks, Rick. I didn't realize it was that low.

His slash line after today's game (I think): .229/.308/.486/.794
Do we still 'need' a replacement?

He's a below average starter (regardless of what he happened to do today), and has been for 3 years. He's not a complete abomination, but continues to man one of the weaker spots in the line-up. If there is anywhere to replace it's probably there. Turning him into a bench bat and upgrading his spot in LF improves two positions.
He's currently on pace to finish right at 2 WAR for the year. That's average, is it not?

Ludwick needs to platoon with a lefty hitting LF.
Period.
You mean a lefty hitter with an OPS of 1.000, who is a great defender, and who arrives at the stadium on a unicorn everyday. Period.
I mean hey, as long as we are dreaming....

I think this platoon stuff is becoming a little overboard in general, but especially in this case.
Ludwick's 3-year platoon splits from 2009-2011 actually have him hitting righties better than lefties. His 3-year OPS vs. RHP.... .742. Versus lefties... .700. But hey... you know, facts and all that.

Dime a dozen.
How do we know he's not Mel Torme?
