NL Central Positional Throwdown: Rightfield Edition
Published 3/21/2009 by HighLeveragePerformer at The Crawfish Boxes
... Wait a second! How is an All Star this low??? Ryan Ludwick had an OPS+ of 150 last season! He was equally good against both left handed and right handed pitching last season, to boot. What gives? What gives is that Ludwick  made this leap when he was 29 going on 30 years old. That means his peak seasons are gone. He's a bit like an Astro minor leaguer- old. He stuck around in the minors until he was 28. Not to take anything away from Ludwick. His power numbers should stick around for a few more seaons, though that .299 BA in 2008 was a little ...

That's Why They Play The Games: 2009 NL Central
Published 3/16/2009 by Kris Liakos at Walkoff Walk
... I was shocked by the relative success of this rotation last year and will only be a believer if they find success again. Ryan Ludwick's season last year was an outlier, he's going to be 31 this year. Nothing about this team says to me that they'll be much better than last year. ...

Manny Ramirez Alternative Number Three

... So one possibility is to sign Hudson, trade something for Ryan Ludwick  the slugger from St. Louis. The tricky part is coming up with what St. Louis would consider equitable in return for Ludwick. They need a 2nd baseman, backup or starting SS for when Green goes down or they realize how bad he is. Some relief pitching and maybe someone in the rotation if Carpenter can't make it. Colby Rasmus is ready to play everyday for them so they have an alternative to Ludwick. I'm going to suggest DeWitt, D Young, Chin Lung Hu for Ryan Ludwick.  That may not be ...

Top 9 Cardinal Player Personnel Moves of 2008

... into my “he shouldn’t start” bit (even though I’m right), because this is about his 2008 performance.  Sure, he tailed off at the end, turning in a “burned out” August and September.  Can you imagine what the Cardinal bullpen might’ve been without him running out there every other game?  After completely skipping AAA Memphis by impressing in Spring Training, McClellan was the Cardinals’ Rookie of the Year for 2008. Play Ryan Ludwick every day. It is still unfathomable for me that a ...

... . There were some really intriguing rumors for a bit that Colorado would immediately trade Street…some said they’d send him to St. Louis for Ryan Ludwick. That rumor has died down a bit, but if they pulled that off, this would be an absolutely brilliant transaction for Colorado. However, it doesn’t look like it will happen that way. ...

Rumor: Kelly Johnson for Ryan Ludwick
Published 11/4/2008 by gondeee at Talking Chop
... Interestante. Ludwick had one hell of a season last year -- 37 dingers and 113 RBIs while hitting .299 and protecting Albert Pujols in the lineup. So he's someone who could definitely protect Chipper Jones so long as Ludwick's 2007 numbers are a sign of things to come. ...

The All-Star Factor: Check the Standings

... Doing the research for the above entry reminded me of a tiny, but lifelong, perk of being named an All-Star. Sometime soon, Ryan Ludwick’s page at Baseball-Reference.com, all 311 games of it there right now, will get a new addition: A permanent, red-white-and-blue banner above his stats that reads, “All-Star.” It will be just like Marmol’s. ...

This is Why We Have the Label "Managers Don't Do That Much"

... career metrics. But some people just don't get it. I present: Gerry Fraley's terrible puff piece about Tony LaRussa, a consummate baseball wise man and the gritty, disciplined leader of the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals are outperforming expectations this year. Nobody expected much of them, and everyone's surprised to see them leading the wild-card. How should we account for this? Should we account for the utterly unexpected appearance of a guy like this guy, who's OPSing .936 in his first full season? Or perhaps we might consider ...

Remembering Ryan Ludwick

... Oh, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that he is currently hitting at a clip of .350/.427/.772 through 123 at-bats.  Yep, that’s an OPS of 1.199… Known more for his pinch-hitting role, Ludwick is fresh off of a three-game stint in which he has gone 6-for-11 with four home runs, five runs scored, and seven RBI.  He now has 12 home runs on the season, the fifth highest total in the National League, despite having 50 fewer at-bats than anyone above him.  The great VivaElBirdo’s has donned Ludwick with nicknames such as “Glovewick,” “Studwick,” and “Thudwick.”  He’s entered ...
