Sheets is a hold — league-average skill and nothing unstable moving it.

His expected wOBA is .316 against a league average of .315, and he has 419 plate appearances, well past the 160 needed for that number to be reliable. His actual wOBA is .315 — identical to the expected figure — so no luck stat is inflating or dragging the line. His contact quality sits just under league: 87.4 mph average exit velocity against 89.0, a 38.2% hard-hit rate against 40.0%, and 7.1% barrels against 8.0%, all over 280 batted balls and therefore stable. The one thing moving in his favor is the trajectory — his expected wOBA is stepping up across the sample. He also walks 11.7% of the time, above the 8.5% league mark, which keeps his on-base floor steady even when the bat is quiet. There is no signal to buy and no signal to sell. Hold.
