Giménez is a sell — the skill is below league and no luck to blame.

His expected wOBA is .264, which is .051 below the league average of .315, and he has enough plate appearances for that number to be reliable. His actual wOBA is .281, so there is no bad-luck story pulling the line down — the production matches the skill. The contact quality tells the same story: his average exit velocity is 86.4 mph, nearly three mph below league; his hard-hit rate of 23.5% is more than 16 percentage points below the league; his barrel rate is 3.4%, less than half the league mark. All three are stable. He walks just 3.5% of the time against a league average of 8.5%, and he chases 42.1% of pitches — the second-highest chase rate in the league. There is no coming plateau here; the weakness is persistent. Sell. 2 HR, 12 R, 25 RBI, 5 SB, .212 AVG: a deep-league streamer at best.
