A fractured elbow? Ouch.

Can whole teams have lucky BABIPs?

The Angels and Rays pitching staffs had the lowest BABIPs in baseball last year. How much of that do we attribute to luck? To pitchers' skill. To team defense?

Looking at all 30 teams ranked by BABIP of pitchers at Basebal Prospectus, I'm not seeing much correlation with POP% (surely the same as IfFly%) but a strong correlation with LD%.

The Angels and Rays both have LD percents of 17.1, easily the lowest in the majors.

The two worst BABIP teams, the Brewers and the Rockies (in that order), have the two highest LD percents (21.2 and 21.8).

I'm not sure what the average LD percent is, but it looks like it's somewhere between 18.5 and 19.

It's interesting that Weaver's LD% last year was four points higher than his team's.

Or does Fangraphs (where I believe LVW is getting his numbers) have a higher LD% for the Angels team?

If so, that's also interesting.

I think there is. Just from the eyeball test from my 40+ years of watching MLB, I would say hitters hit more pitcher's pitches(the kinds that get you popups and jam shots) than they miss hitter's pitches(the kinds that produce hard hit balls).

That puts him right about in the middle (145 pitchers with 100+ IP). From year to year, you're saying there's greater fluctuation in their IfFly% than there is for hitters? Similar to BABIP.

He was tied for 70th at 9.4%(15.7% in 2011). I think batters have a more control over their IfFly% than pitchers do.

Unlike the other pitchers you've been tracking, a flyball pitcher. How did he rank in Infield Fly%?

It tells me that Shandler expects Weaver's BABIP to go to .300 and James believes he's a special case- the inverse Matt Cain if you will.

Do "alternative ERAs" actually tell us anything? If so, what are the Baseball Forecaster's xERA (3.96) and the Bill James Handbook's ERC (2.48), taken together, telling us about Jered Weaver?
