Buy Low fastball velocity stable and above league, the arm is fine — luck-free xERA 3.61 sits 0.49 below league, a real arm the ERA is hiding; BABIP-against 0.333 elevated and unstable, bloating the ERA; buy the player, not the number.high 0.90 (narrative held for review)

Gibson is a buy-low — his ERA is BABIP noise.

ERA ugly, but the skill it regresses to is league-or-better and the BABIP-against is unsustainable. Buy low.
