Yes, I know that. So my point about gaining a pick next year is negated by the fact that we would lose a pick this year. I was just thinking out loud sequentially.

Re: Ludwick Contract Offer

It's done, Heymen and Rosenthal reporting.

And now Rosenthal going back on his tweet. Deal is not done. says that it will get done barring any stunning reversal. Good Lord.

Reds To Sign Ryan Ludwick
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [December 7 at 4:07pm CST]
The Reds agreed to sign Ryan Ludwick, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports (on Twitter). John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer first reported the Reds were making progress toward a deal with the BHSC client.

The Reds made the free agent outfielder a two-year two-year offer earlier in the week, but Fay reported that at least one other club was being more aggressive on Ludwick. The 34-year-old posted a .275/.346/.531 batting line with 26 home runs in 472 plate appearances for the Reds this past season.

Ludwick ranked 26th on MLBTR's list of top 50 free agents with MLBTR's Tim Dierkes correctly predicting that he would re-sign with the Reds.

Nice job, Fay.

Yeah,

I excuse Fay for not breaking news because I don't think that is a top priority of his job, but he did a nice job on this one.

Sheldon says he's hearing it's not done, and the reports are not accurate.

I love twitter, but man, I really hate it sometimes.

Re: Ludwick Contract Offer/ Ludwick has deal with the Reds.

Now question is - what is the over/under on good deal bad deal? Assuming it's 2 years:

I've always said I wouldn't do more than $15MM. A penny over that and I would rather trade for a bopper. Hopefully it will be less (I think it will be).

Re: Ludwick Contract Offer/ Ludwick has deal with the Reds.

I am hearing that it is done pending the parties agreeing on terms, a physical, his not signing with another team, and an official announcement on whether it is done or done with or just close.

Re: Ludwick Contract Offer/ Ludwick has deal with the Reds.

OK, so assuming Ludwick is two years, why go out and acquire Fowler when Billy will be up in September. Sign Ichiro to be your leadoff man and call it a off-season (outfield wise.)
