The funniest line I've ever heard was this past off-season when someone said "Kyle Lohse could get Gil Meche money." Pablo, Dave Studeman found, at The Hardball Times not too long ago, that BABIP accurately correlated to the LD% + .120. So, if a guy has 15.5% LD we can expect his BABIP would be in the .275 range (.155+.120). It got annoying typing "expected" all the time so I just started calling it xBABIP. Nat, it’s a joke.

I'm assuming it involves a players LD/FB/GB percentages since they fall for hits different amount of times, and multiplying them by that percentage and adding them up result in an expected Ba/Bip? If you could just tell me what site provides the xBABIP numbers that would be great. Where do you get xBABIP numbers from.
