What Each Player's System Trusts
Ben Brown

- xeraSIGNALluck-free xERA 2.91 is 0.99 above the ERA — regression coming
James Wood
- xwobaSIGNALstable xwOBA 0.438, +0.123 vs league — production is earned
- hard_hit_pctSIGNALelite, already-stable contact quality
- k_pctSIGNALstrikeout rate 29% is stable and high — caps the floor
Wood's 22 HR / 15 SB cover counting categories; Brown's 2.91 ERA / 72 K target ratios. Cross-position — value depends on roster slot. Verdicts diverge: sell Brown, buy Wood.
