What's his deal?

Wil be 23 in September, and posting a 4.15 ERA at low-A. 14th round draft pick in 2009.

Not cool.

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.

he is left handed

LOL

But I do think that some of you are overvaluing Ludwick.

This is the way I look at it:

We traded Ludwick for a non-prospect and Jake Westbrook. Ludwick is better than Westbrook, and also has an extra year of team control.

I guess you can argue that we traded from our "surplus" of outfielders to fill a need in the rotation, but from a pure value standpoint, we definitely lost this trade.

There is a St. Louis Media? Did they finish eating breakfast yet?

All you can eat buffett at the hotel...thats where Bernie is.

So we just traded Ryan Ludwick for Jake Westbrook. Ouch.

Here's who we're talking about, let's try and dig up some info, boys!

Awesome, a 22 year old in A ball.

Everything about this trade seems awful.

Wow, I truly hate this deal. I didn't want Westbrook in the first place. To give up Ludwick for him is just depressing. I can't imagine they're going to just wing it with this offense now, but after seeing this deal, who knows?

Hate this trade. Even though I expect Westbrook to be good in STL
