Pitcher:	BABIP	K/BB	PTO%	qERA	ERA Dif	P/IP	FIP
Hitter:	BABIP	P/PA	BB/SO	GB/FB	HR/FB
2008	0.293	4.330	29.5%	3.87	-0.296	15.78	4.23
2007	0.329	3.52	30.29%	4.25	0.008	14.59	3.77
2006	0.355	3.88	25.95%	4.27	2.104	17.30	4.98

Scott has been pretty consistent this year, giving up more than 3 ER only once. He’s about average in efficiency but he has great command and he’s close to elite level PTO%. His BABIP shows how this is not a fluke right now, so you can expect much of the same.

Sell High: Mike Pelfrey

Key Stats: 

Pitcher:	BABIP	K/BB	PTO%	qERA	ERA Dif	P/IP	FIP
Hitter:	BABIP	P/PA	BB/SO	GB/FB	HR/FB
2008	0.344	1.170	23.0%	5.54	-1.066	17.82	4.15
2007	0.338	1.15	23.98%	5.54	0.031	17.68	4.69
2006	0.353	1.08	23.72%	5.70	-0.225	17.79	4.43

Mike has been very inconsistent right now but lately has been ok the last two starts. That’s the last thing you want on your team. Find someone who would fall for the BABIP of .344 and snicker silently when you look at his qERA and P/IP rates. Finally, cover your mouth to contain the laughter at the poor fool when he takes him on despite the command and domination rates.
