Ludwick
Does he deserve to be a regular on this team? His hitting has been phenomenal for the most part. But will exposing him to regular work diminish his hitting?
Is he a better option off the bench and a late inning defensive replacement for Duncan?
My answer: Keep him spot starting. It has been working. Someone goes into a prolonged slump then use him as a starter.

Absolutely he does. He is a solid player!
Right now, the rotation seems to be working. With the numerous lefties in the outfield, he needs to stick around and get regular playing time, but he doesn’t have to be the everyday starter. If a trade frees up a spot, then you might think about it.
I think he absolutely deserves to be an every day starter. At least until he starts to cool off. We’ve got a HUGE backlog of OF’ers and we need to figure out which are going to be starters, and which to trade.
Rasmus, Ankiel, Duncan, Ludwick, Barton, Schumaker thats basically two pretty decent starting outfields right now. You’ve got to figure out which are flukes and which will be consistent producers for you. (Personally I think Duncan is expendable and either Schu or Barton as well once Rasmus comes up).
1.207 OPS says it all.
