Ludwick's season is in direct relationship to Pujols. When you hit in front of Pujols you are being pitched to because they don't want anyone on in front of him. When you hit behind him they pitch around him to get to you. Either spot, you get a steady diet of fastballs, that's why Ludwick had a breakout year last year and why when healthy, Duncan had a breakout year the season before.
Pujols is hands down the NL MVP, the players themselves already voted him MVP, so I will have to take their word for it.
