Ludwick is severely overrated on the trade market
He's putting up a .238/.302/.373 line. His wOBA is .299 and a +RC is 94. His OPS+ is bad at 92.
For comparision's sake. Jason Heyward is putting up a .222/.311/.404 line. His wOBA is .317 and his +RC is 100. His WAR is the same's as Ludwick. His OPS+is 97.
Ludwick's home/road splits
Home: .217/.304/.356
Away: .258/.300/.389
It's not worth it.
I figured Williams might go that direction. If Viciedo is what they think he is, they can make that trade, save a bunch of cash, and still have a good shot at winning the Central.Rosenthal says the Braves are "hot" for Quentin and the Sox love the Braves arms. Only hold up is Viciedo's thumb, who would replace Quentin.
