Cubs are getting calls on their top three pitchers already.
Here's the thing on Hammel--his BABIP is 0.138. Rather, he's been "lucky". Now, I sometimes don't get this BABIP metric...his WHIP is 0.69 and he's not walking people. So, the contact being made is going to outs, mostly. I guess a mean BABIP is 0.300 or so? So either he's doing what he's supposed to be doing, he's really lucky, or both.
Anyway, if the Cubs do sell on Hammel they should do it while the iron is hot. He's 32...I don't think the Cubs are going to hold on. He has a 1 year, $6M deal for 2014.
Jake Arrieta should be returning from his rehab work soon to take Villanueva's spot in the rotation, hopefully forever.

Please God don't let Villanueva make another start. I think he will, but I hope he doesn't.

This is usually a stat of luck. I was reading a book about a big time baseball gambler and he thinks this stat is overrated. He says pitchers have no control over how a hitter hits the ball and where it goes once it is hit. True to a certain extent.

Maybe Shark can actually get a win tonight.

It basically means that he has been really lucky. A BABIP of .138 is unsustainable, and you're right, mean should be around .300, so he should trend toward that number as the season goes on.

Hopefully they'll continue to pitch well, and they'll get some bidding wars going. With the possible exception of Wood, and that's probably a remote possibility, none of these guys will be around when this team is ready to compete.
