Duran is a hold — average skill, and the average is propped up.

His expected wOBA is .306, about .009 below the league average of .315, and he has 529 plate appearances — well past the point where that number becomes reliable. His actual wOBA is .343, but that gap is not skill. It is BABIP: .335 against a league average of .295, on 358 balls in play of the roughly 800 needed to trust the stat. Expect some of that batting average to come back to him. His batted-ball quality is ordinary — 89.0 mph average exit velocity, a 38% hard-hit rate, 6.4% barrels, all at or just under league. He also chases 35.7% of pitches outside the zone, far above the 28.5% league mark, and that is a real drag on the profile. Nothing here is unstable enough to sell and nothing is strong enough to buy. Hold. ROS: 0 HR / 5 R / 7 RBI / 1 SB / .242 AVG — a counting-only drag, deep-league streamer at best, no reason to add.
