Lee is a hold — league average, with one number due to fall

His expected wOBA is .302 — only .013 under the league average of .315 — and he has 355 plate appearances, well past the point where that number becomes reliable. The full skill profile backs the same read: 89.6 mph average exit velocity, a 41.3% hard-hit rate, and an 8.7% barrel rate, all a tick above league and all based on 242 batted balls. But his expected wOBA is stepping down across the sample, and his actual wOBA of .324 is being held up by a .325 BABIP that is not reliable yet — he has 242 balls in play of the 800 needed for that stat to settle, so some of the line should give back. Nothing here is unstable enough to sell and nothing is strong enough to buy. Hold.
