I see, and you should at least do some research on this subject, instead of just using exclamation points to drive home your response. If you did the research, you'll see that Ludwick was hitting right behind Pujols (not the other way around) for the majority of the year. 20 of his homeruns and 59 of his rbi came from the 4-hole. Pujols hit in the 3-spot, with the exception of 2 at-bats.
Your point? He still would've been the 3rd best run producer on the Brewers just like he was for the Cardinals.
...and 25 homers in only 120 games.
This is where I wanted you to go, so let's break it down. Oh, and we're not going to use the names of their (Pujols and Braun's) teammates. Hall and Cameron hit .225 and .243 respectively. They are hindering the offense more than they are helping it, so I'm discluding them for your sake.
Player 1a: .299/37/113 <--- edge
Player 2a: .276/34/102
Player 1b: .270/27/99 <--- edge
Player 2b: .268/20/91
Player 1c: .264/25/71
Player 2c: .283/24/74 <--- edge
Player 1a and 1b are Ludwick and Glaus, Player 2c is J.J. Hardy. The edge goes to the Cardinal boppers.
Also, Ryan Braun is the only major leaguer with at least 145 games played, that hasn't committed an error this season. |
In front or behind Pujols, it doesn't matter. They pitch around Pujols to face Ludwick. I'm not saying his season was not good or shouldn't count. He had a hell of a season but let me ask you this......Does he have that good of a season without Pujols batting infront OR behind him? Pujols has had better seasons without Ludwick batting infront or behind him. Who would YOU rather pitch to, Ludwick or Pujols? I am not gloating on Pujols because I hate the Cards and Pujols but the man is a beast and is the biggest and best beast on that team. I'm ending my arguements because I am starting to sound like my wife by nagging all my points over and over again.
