Key Stats:

Pitcher:	BABIP	K/BB	PTO%	qERA	ERA Dif	P/IP

2006	0.189	3.84	1.64	1.700	20.00%

Ryan has quietly produced at the C position where people are always looking for production. With a BABIP right around the upper limit of the normal range, it appears that he’s due for at worst a very slight production. Each year he his BABIP has improved as well. Overall everything else looks good and indicative that his production will likely stay the same or better.

After a scorching June, J.D. has started to cool off lately. Looking at his HR/FB%, it doesn’t take a stretch of the imagination to think that he’ll start to regress back towards those 2006 levels. It appears that he has made a slight change in his approach that has him putting more emphasis on hitting the ball on the line or in the air, as his GB/FB ratio is now at a 3 year low. With his cooling off lately, the window may be starting to close. Those who drafted him as a 3^rd OF should look to move him and fill another hole in the team.
