Richar had a LD% of 18.2, so...

.120 + .182 = .302

If THT's GB% is a total of GB, FB, and LD (and not just GB/FB)...

.763(.182) + .265(.455) + .131(.363) = .309

Richar's actual BABIP = .248

While you're on the subject of BABIP, Uribe's has been .259 and .240 the last two years compared to a career mark of .281.

It was .264 three years ago.

You might want to check BABIP for the Cell. It might be depressed due to park effects. At any rate, a BABIP of .248 given his LD% seems pretty low. I think it would be safe to say he's running bad.

That doesn't necessarily fix the problem that he has a below-average batting eye, though.

It looks like Torii Hunter was the big prize that the White Sox were clearing payroll for. I don't think it was mentioned in that article, but the Angels tossed $1.5MM into the Cabrera deal.

What were people projecting Hunter to get? 5/75?

He was "asking" for 6/90. I think even he knows that's unrealistic, though. 5/75 is the rumor AFAIK.
