Buy Low/ Sell High- June 1st

Buy Low: Mike Napoli

Key Stats:

G		AB	R		H	2B	3B		HR	RBI		SB	BB	SO		BA	OBP
35		109	14		24	1	0		10	23		3	12	33		0.22	0.31
	BABIP			P/PA				BB/SO			GB/FB				HR/FB
	0.212			3.80				0.36			0.575				25.00%

Mike has been in a horrendous slump lately but this is the best time to pick him up. His BABIP is ridiculously low and he’s not hitting HR at a pace far over his previous levels of 18 and 23%. While his OBP numbers will drag you down in leagues like use OBP, lately he has been playing basically everyday and will get ok numbers out of the catching slot. Ideally, he’s your #2 catcher at this point but if he gets going, he can be very streaky and you can ride him for a week or two.

Sell High: Jeremy Guthrie

Key Stats: 

W	L	SV		IP	H	ER		HR	BB	SO		ERA	WHIP
2	6	0		77	70	31		10	23	48		3.60	1.21
BABIP			K/BB				PTO%				QuickERA
0.252			2.090				26.2%				4.772

I know that most people will not be targeting Jeremy Guthrie in a deal but if you can unload him now while he still has that WHIP and ERA, do it. There is a reason why he’s 2-6 and unfortunately a lot of people might get sucked into that ERA and WHIP. His “ease of outs” % is drastically low those and the WHIP will not be high enough to continue this luck.
