No one's saying his 2004 production was bad, just expecting it to ever occur again or get close isn't a good idea. We shouldn't be concerned on what he has done, just what he will do. He didn't have a terrible BABIP last season. It was slightly worse than average. His 2004 and 2005 were bigger anamolies and helped him. He had it coming. 2004: 14.1 LD%, .272 BABIP against 2005: 18.0 LD%, .287 BABIP against 2006: 17.3 LD%, .322 BABIP against I'd say that his 2006 is much more flukish, and I think you could make the argument that 2004 and 2005 aren't too out of whack either.
