Monasterio is a sell — the bat is short, and it's trending down.

His expected wOBA is .287, .028 below the league average of .315, and with 347 plate appearances he has cleared the sample where that number becomes reliable. His actual wOBA of .293 tracks right with it, so there is no bad-luck story dragging the line under his skill. The contact quality confirms it: 87.4 mph average exit velocity against a league average of 89.0, a 31.2% hard-hit rate well under 40.0%, and barrel rate below league. His xwOBA has been stepping down across the sample, so this is not a cold stretch waiting to break. He strikes out less than league average and chases less than league average, but making contact more often does not help when the contact is this weak. The level is the level. Sell. A 0 HR / 0 R / 0 RBI / 0 SB / .000 AVG projection is waiver fodder — fade the skill and drop the tax.
