McClouth and Hart are close, but i prefer Hart. I think McClouth might regress a bit, while Hart increases.
I usually don't waste a Keeper spot on a Catcher, especially this year that there's allot of catchers out there that can put up the same numbers as Soto. Ludwick's power I believe is the truth. Thank you guys for all the help, It was a big help thanks again. I'll be submitting the following players:
Ludwick, Ortiz, Mclouth, Utley and Rios.
A lot of catchers can go 20/80+??? McCann, Martin, Soto, VMart about the only 4.
Good luck. I would keep McLouth/Hart over Ludwick. He is the guy most likely to regress.

Why Ludwick over Hart? I also like Hart over McLouth.
Hart had a very weak Stat line last season. Yes he did reach 20 Hr's and Sb's, but his drop in AVg (.268) and High K rate was bad. Ludwick i think is for real and will improve on his numbers some more or give me the same results, which I'm not mad about.

I value your opinion Hootie, I will take It into consideration.
Thanks. It's your team, always go with your gut i guess.
Just be aware, Ludwick had a high LD % last year of (26%), along with a abnormal 35% hit rate %, and a high hr/f ratio of (20%), which bumped his average and hrs a bit more, then what's probably realistic. I haven't seen anyone expecting him to increase. I like him, but i expect .270 30 hrs.
Hart on the other hand, had some bad luck. A abnormal 30% hit rate %, and a abnormal 10% hr/f ratio. Hart, minus a few hrs, is Ludwick, plus 20 sb.

That has nothing to do with anything.
Hart had 15 more at bats than McLouth last season yet McLouth managed more hits, 6 more homeruns, 3 more RBI's, 37 more runs, a higher batting average, higher OPS, higher OBP, higher slugging percentage, walked 38 more times, and stole the same number of bases. It's clearly McLouth.
According to the question he has a better option....KEEP SOTO and Pittsburgh sucks and only got worse by losing BAY....so in that case go with Hart.
Go Mets 09'
Always remember in life's little mixed up times~~~~even a broken clock is right twice a day !!!
There is no basis to that, if you look at an earlier post you'll see that despite less at bats McLouth beat out Hart in nearly every stat you can think of.
