You wonder how true this is...would you do it?
Hal McCoy, Dayton Daily News
It appears the Padres are willing to trade outfielder Ryan Ludwick and would do oit straight up for outfielder Chris Heisey or take some minor-league prospects for him. Ludwick and Reds’ general manager Walt Jocketty already have a history: Jocketty signed him as a free agent for the St. Louis Cardinals in December, 2006. |

Re: You wonder how true this is...would you do it?
Interesting offer.San Diego is the death knell for power hitters.Heisey straight up for Ludwick,you would have to pull the trigger.Rusty, as I call him, refuse's to give Heisey a chance in LF,so I would make the trade.Ludwick would rake at GABP.

Re: You wonder how true this is...would you do it?
I'm not a fan of Ludwick, but read somewhere that he has one of the higher batting averages with RISP. Says he loves to hit with men on base.

Question is will he make the switch to LF?

Re: You wonder how true this is...would you do it?
I would do it in a heart beat, although we would owe Ludwick 4 million for the rest of this year, a power bat to split up the lefties (Bruce and Votto) and could bat 4th. I love the idea.

Re: You wonder how true this is...would you do it?
Ludwick is a legit hitter and I think would bolster the offense (not like Lewis or Gomes). If your not gonna play him - trade him.

Re: You wonder how true this is...would you do it?
Ludwick is an above average outfielder...that in itself is a huge upgrade over Lewis and Gomes. Well....at least average.

Re: You wonder how true this is...would you do it?
If this organization considers Heisey to be its third option in LF (as demonstrated by this year's lineups) by all means you make that trade.
But, personally, I don't think Ludwick's any better than Heisey. Feels like the same player, given equal opportunity.
