Albies is a sell — the contact is weak and the sample is real.

He is averaging 87.1 mph off the bat, two mph below league, with a 27.8% hard-hit rate against a 40% league average — and he has 479 batted balls, far past where contact quality becomes reliable. His barrel rate is 4.0%, half the league average. The expected wOBA of .283 sits .032 below league, and it has been stepping down across the sample rather than climbing. His actual wOBA of .310 is close to the expected mark, so there is no bad-luck story pulling the line down. The one thing he does well is avoid strikeouts at 14.4%, but a high chase rate of 38.4% undercuts it. Nothing here is about to break his way. Sell. 0 HR / 6 R / 5 RBI / 0 SB / .220 AVG is waiver-wire drag — cut him, streaming-only at second base.
