As a result, the FIP/tRA comparisons don't work for the article. I don't think he's really 15.6% HR/FB%, but I don't think he's really 4.4% either. I don't want to look up his xFIP though; as a Marlins fan, I'm sort of done with the guy. Gregg allowed huge homer totals in Chicago and small homer totals in Florida.

hawkins 08: 3.28 FIP, 3.60 tRA
hawkins 09: 3.97 FIP, 5.25 tRA

gregg 08: 3.80 FIP, 4.44 tRA
gregg 09: 4.93 FIP, 5.46 tRA

i don’t know if the differences in 2007 really push the tilt towards gregg. hawkins has been markedly better than him over the last 2 years.
