Jansen is a sell — stable skill below league, no luck excuse.

His expected wOBA is .267 — well below the league average of .315 — and at 227 plate appearances he has the sample to make that number trustworthy. There is no bad-luck story to rescue it: his actual wOBA of .300 sits above his expected mark, so the surface has been helped by bounces that will even out. The contact quality backs the skill read rather than contradicting it, with an 87.7 mph average exit velocity and a 33.6% hard-hit rate both under league. His chase rate of 22.5% is well below league, so he is not expanding the zone and hurting himself — the bat just isn't producing the damage when he swings. The expected number has been stepping down, not settling. Nothing here is about to break the right way. Sell. The ROS line reads 0 HR / 0 R / 0 RBI / 0 SB / .000 AVG — fringe waiver filler, not a hold while you wait for the bat to wake.
