If you have Maddux, you have to sell him. His peripherals aren&quot;t suggestive of a 0.99 ERA. Check out his BABIP graph on FanGraphs. He&quot;s way below average right now, and that&quot;s mostly a function of dumb luck. As that comes up -- and it will -- so will his other numbers. Also note that BABIP is independent of homers hit (as a homer is not a "ball in play"), so when both his BABIP and HR rate come up, Maddux should revert to 2003-2005 form.
