Floyd's era is back under 4.00 on the season. He only trails Buehrle by a quarter of a run now for the best ERA by a starter on the Sox.

You chop 1.5 months off of his season and he's what, fighting with Greinke for the Cy?

BABIP (for hitters) is my least favorite of all sabermetric stats. My 2 cents.

I think it provides some real insight in to the type of hitter you have, and whether or not a hitter is down or up by some amount of luck.

That's something you know intuitively just by looking at batting averages. Everyone likes to use Swisher last year as an example. I looked at Swisher's batting averages and BABIPs and there is always about a 30 point spread between the two, give or take. So if you tell me his BABIP is down, I say "no s***." It doesn't tell me anything I don't already know.
