Trammell is a sell — the bat is below league and trending the wrong way.

His expected wOBA is .284, which is .031 below the league average of .315, and he has 250 plate appearances — past the point where that number is reliable. His actual wOBA is .288, essentially the same, so there is no bad-luck story waiting to break in his favor. His contact quality does not argue for a rebound: an 87.8 mph average exit velocity and a 36.3% hard-hit rate both sit below league. The strikeout rate is the real anchor, and it is getting worse — 31.2% and climbing, with an 18.5% swinging-strike rate more than seven points above league. He is what the numbers say he is, and the trend line points down. Sell. 1 HR / 4 R / 4 RBI / 1 SB / .194 AVG is waiver fodder — drop, not a hold.
