Buy Low/Sell High July 1st (Dukes/Smith)

Buy Low: Elijah Dukes

Key Stats:

Pitcher:	BABIP	K/BB	PTO%	qERA	ERA Dif	P/IP	FIP
Hitter:	BABIP	P/PA	BB/SO	GB/FB	HR/FB
2008	0.245	3.86	0.54	1.625	9.38%

2006	#N/A	#N/A	#N/A	#N/A	#N/A

The talent is there he just has to control his temper. Expect that his HR/FB would settle in around 15% and his GB/FB% to decrease some. Overall, he could get his head on straight and be a wonderful 20/20 guy.

Sell High: Greg Smith

Key Stats: 

Pitcher:	BABIP	K/BB	PTO%	qERA	ERA Dif	P/IP	FIP
Hitter:	BABIP	P/PA	BB/SO	GB/FB	HR/FB
2008	0.278	1.760	27.3%	4.90	-1.211	16.45	4.02
2007	#N/A	#N/A	#N/A	#N/A	#N/A	#N/A	#N/A
2006	#N/A	#N/A	#N/A	#N/A	#N/A	#N/A	#N/A

Nothing above points to him maintaining the amount of success he had in the first half of the year, especially that low a k/BB ratio. Expect a regression to the mid 4’s in ERA. Finally look at the P/IP number almost 17. 17 * 6 IP is 102 pitches, so you’ll be lucky to get 6 Inning out of him right now.
