Ludwick is a tough one to call in 2010. On one hand having a Matt Holliday in the line-up for a full season may help his numbers, and Big Mac may help him improve his swing and mechanics. On the other hand, his 2009 numbers took a big dip from his 2008 totals. I think his 2010 numbers fall somewhere between his 2008 and 2009 campaign. .270-70-25-100-5

Positives / Upside	Ludwick had a huge breakout in 2008, but came down to Earth in 2009. However, with Holliday and Pujols in front of him in the line-up he should be able to mash more like he did in 2008. Furthermore, manager Tony LaRussa employs the best, and one has to think that Mark McGwire will have a nice influence on guys like Ludwick.
Negatives / Downside	Ludwick's 2008 season was a huge breakout, but he showed his true colors in 2009. He is a capable bat, but not someone who you can write in 25 homeruns and 100 RBI for. Keep you expectations modest, and you won't be disappointed.
