I mean, ST is pretty worthless, and we have only seen a fraction of his at bats. But, he had to come in to ST and earn the job, and it seems like he has. I dont think he's gonna hit .340 on the season, but Robles hitting ~.250 with elite defense is pretty valuable, both to the team and on the trade market
this is where that team option could be valuable. If he actually looks like he's a (hate go stat geek here) 90 wRC+ rather a 60s guy he has been the past 3 seasons (basically, a bit below average rather than one of the worst in baseball among regulars), then he's pretty valuable.  For example, if the Phillies plan on having Castellanos and Schwarber in the corners, then they really need a plus plus defender in CF to shag down balls in the power alleys.
