Buy Low: Nick Swisher

Key Stats:

G	AB	R		H	2B	3B		HR	RBI		SB	BB	SO		BA	OBP
53	182	25		37	6	1		4	14		1	34	45		0.203	0.33
BABIP			BB/SO				P/PA			GB/FB				HR/FB
0.248			0.76				4.49			0.961				7.84%

Swisher has been a bit unlucky this year in both the BABIP department and in the HR/FB department. In 2006 he had a .287 BABIP and a HR/FB % of 23.81%. In 2007 he had a BABIP of .308 and a HR/FB% of 16.54%. Most likely these numbers will return to his normal as the year goes on. As you can see he is below what he normally does in almost every category. As time goes on and Quentin continues his hot streak, the hot air in Chicago will help lead to greater power numbers.

Sell High: Ryan Dempster

Key Stats: 

W	L	SV		IP	H	ER		HR	BB	SO		ERA	WHIP
6	2	0		70	48	20		4	29	56		2.60	1.10
BABIP			K/BB				PTO%				QuickERA
0.227			1.930				28.2%				4.268

Well as you can see here Dempster has been extremely lucky so far. The only good peripheral number is the PTO% and even that doesn’t support the numbers that he currently has. His BABIP is ound to increase which means a higher WIP, ERA, etc. Try to move him ASAP.
