What Ludwick would have made next year is irrelevant, he was going to be dealt before the '11 season, and he would have fetched far more than Jake Westbrook and the guy who got cut 10 minutes into Bull Durham
Penny's non-reached incentives have no bearing on this deal. It's a complete non-sequitur.

I think they are using the $ Penny is not getting plus the $ they aren't paying Ludwick coupled with what Cleveland is picking up in salary. If Penny were healthy the trade wouldn't be made basically.
Regardless if you save $1MM (which they aren't) it's probably still not worth it. I don't care for the deal either but Ludwick was gone after this year either way.
Ballsy move. They better go deep in the PO's and Jay needs to tear it up to make it worth it for this season.
