BABIP is a useful evaluative tool, but at some point a guy has to start hitting. As for Khalil, he also gets a huge boost by being the first guy to establish himself at the big-league level. Take away '03 and '04, and he slips to #4 on that list.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-193411">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> #1@Anthony: I think now would be a good time to be concerned about Antonelli.

Shouldn't he be demoted at some point? I worry that he's going to develop his own version of Burroughs-itis, so focused on one thing (taking pitches) that he stops hitting. Win Shares are a funny thing... I never would have guessed that Khalil would be ahead of those guys, although playing short and getting a head start seems to be his main advantage. I've always liked Khalil but I'd trade him for just about every guy on that list.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-193400">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> At what point does Antonelli’s failure to hit start to become cause for concern?
