Gilbert is a hold — the number is league average and stable

His expected wOBA is .324, just nine points above the league average of .315, and 359 plate appearances is well past the point where that number becomes reliable. The gap to his actual wOBA of .306 is small, so no luck stat is flattering or burying the line. The underlying contact is merely ordinary: 86.3 mph off the bat, a 35.3% hard-hit rate, and 5.2% barrels, all a touch under league. What he does well is avoid the empty swing — an 18.1% strikeout rate and a 9.6% swing-and-miss rate, both better than league. His expected wOBA has been stepping up across the sample, which keeps this from being a pure dead end, but it has not stepped up far enough to change the call. Nothing here is unstable and nothing is hiding. Hold. With 0 HR / 3 R / 3 RBI / 0 SB and a .231 AVG ROS, this is rotational streaming-only depth, not a deep-league stash worth holding.
