Here is an interesting article on Ludwick from March... it is very favorable. http://www.stltoday.com/blogzone/bird-land/bird-lan

Will he hit 30+ HRs? No doubt. Is his average going to crash and burn? I would say yes... 80% contact rate last year that was only 67% near the end of April. But, he has mashed ever since, and is now at .350, I think. A surprising personal statistic. Did you know he turns 30 in July? This is a player that I just can't get a finger on.
