That's not what I was insinuating, although I see how the wording can suggest that. I was using his DIPS as a proxy for his skill (bad pitcher), and meant that since he's a bad pitcher he might have gotten hit harder leading to a higher BABIP. High LD%s. Obviously there probably isn't anyone with a true talent .401 BABIP, but I was more suggesting that as a bad pitcher who's getting hit hard, having a high BABIP isn't /entirely/ luck.
