Andujar is a sell — skill below league, no luck story.

His expected wOBA is .296, which is .019 below the league average of .315, and he has enough plate appearances for that number to be reliable. His actual wOBA is .310, barely higher, so there is no bad-luck excuse dragging the line down. His contact quality metrics are all below league: exit velocity 88.3 mph, hard-hit rate 36.0%, and barrel rate 4.2% — each based on a stable, large sample. His walk rate is also well below league at 4.2%, while his chase rate is elevated at 41.2%. The only above-average number is his strikeout rate, but that does not compensate for the weak contact. His xwOBA has been stepping down across the sample, confirming the trend. There is no counterargument here — the skill is simply below average with no luck to explain it. Sell. 2 HR / 18 R / 17 RBI / 1 SB / .248 AVG makes Andujar a clear drop — the weak contact doesn't support the counting stats.
