Jay can't actually hit a baseball with any appreciable ability and isn't anywhere near as strong as Ludwick defensively.
Craig has yet to hit the baseball at the ML level (though I think he can if given an opportunity) and probably isn't anywhere near as strong as Chris Duncan defensively.
And neither of them bring the energy or grit that Ludwick did. There's a reason this team tanked almost immediately after Luddy was traded.
It was a horrible
horrible trade.
But hey, we got the wonderful opportunity to give a dead average starter (who's best years came when Matt Lawton was still an All-Star) $8+ million/season.
AWESOME!!!
