Caissie is a sell — his skill sits below league and the strikeouts are climbing.

His expected wOBA is .293, .022 below the league average of .315, and he has 322 plate appearances — past the point where that number becomes reliable. His actual wOBA is .298, right in line, so no bad luck is dragging the line down. There is no luck story to fall back on; this is the level he is at. Worse, the trend is moving the wrong way: his expected wOBA has been stepping down across the sample and his strikeout rate has been stepping up. He strikes out 37.9% of the time against a league average of 22%, and with 322 plate appearances that rate is stable. The contact is above league, but contact quality does not pay the bills when you strike out nearly four times in ten trips and walk under 8% of the time. The floor is capped and the trend is down. Sell. Just 1 HR / 4 R / 7 RBI / 1 SB / .185 AVG rest of season — a drop, streaming-only, not a hold.
