Sell High/Sell High July 21st (Scott Hairston/Josh Banks)

Sell High: Scott Hairston

Key Stats:

Pitcher:	BABIP	K/BB	PTO%	qERA	ERA Dif	P/IP	FIP
Hitter:	BABIP	P/PA	BB/SO	GB/FB	HR/FB
2008	0.237	3.88	0.25	1.106	21.21%
2007	0.233	3.90	0.47	1.056	15.49%
2006	0.429	3.81	0.20	5.000	0.00%

Scott has in inflated HR% which has spiked his value. 14 HR but only 28 RBIs just goes to show you he’s been awfully lucky with his number of hits being HR. In fact 14 of his 66 hits were HR or roughly 21%. Compare that to Adrian Beltre who has 16.7% of his hits were HR or David Wright who only has 18%. This alone is enough for me to think he will regress not to mention his horrible batting eye. The BABIP may regress to normal but his power will come down as well.

Josh has been pretty decent of late despite his record not showing it. He has decent stuff but his peripherals simply do not support what he has done so far. I expect him regress although not as hard as others.
