Ludwick/Garza for Ortiz in a keeper?

Postby Rhymes_T79 » Thu Jan 29, 2009 9:59 pm

I've been offered Ludwick (Note: Garza was added later) for Ortiz and not knowing much about Ludwick, I am hesitant. Is this guy for reals? He seemed pretty consistent from month-to-month, but hadn't shown that type of potential in previous years. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys.

Doesn't look like he thinks the saddle is coming off - Garza smarza, just what you need another 4.5 era arm. Pass :-t still.

Ludwick is also 30 years old.
Ortiz is 33 and has the track record.
Slap the guy that offered the trade. B!tch slap, open-hand slap ... doesn't matter.

i dont know what to think of ortiz, but i really wouldnt want him right now in a keeper. you can still do better than this more than likely, but you're on the right path of wanting to rid yourself of ortiz.

I'd be looking to unload Ortiz too... i'm assuming he is also only Utility eligibile in your league which is just another reason to be down on him. That being said, even though Ortiz seems to be on the decline his name value is so high you should be able to get something more for him.
