Chandler is a hold — league-average skill, with a walking problem baked in.

His expected ERA is 4.00, which is right in line with the league average of 4.10, and he has faced 613 batters — well past the point where that number becomes reliable. The case for more than a hold isn't there: he allows a 5.7% barrel rate against a league average of 8.0%, which is good, but his expected wOBA allowed is .309, essentially league average, and his strikeout rate of 21% is a tick below league. The one flag worth naming is his walk rate: 11.6% against a league average of 8.0%, on a 170-batter sample that is stable. That's the skill doing the most work in this profile, and it's not a good one. His xERA has stepped down across the sample, so the direction isn't damning — but nothing here is unstable enough to trade on in either direction. Hold. 12 K and a 4.00 ERA is waiver-level production — a deep-league streamer, not a hold you protect.
