but their outfield (offensively) would be significantly worse. i guess there's a good chance that would be the case even if ludwick stayed though Depends on Rasmus production and the Ludwick drop off. It could be about the same or slightly worse. Rasmus is still a good prospect, but his rookie season will probably be a rocky one. However, Ludwick is gonna fall back to earth, so it's anyone's guess if this trade will hurt them much.
