Hey David, can you thank the Braves for me? If he wasn't so beat down last year, I can't imagine Escobar would have signed the extension he did.

$5M for him for four years (with only two guaranteed) feels cheap for middle infielder* with his production/defence.

* - My hunch is that this is the final word on Aaron Hill's Jays' time. Escobar probably moves to 2nd next year.

- Sounds like an Alex Rios sitaution to me somewhat. No matter how good he may or may not be with the White Sox, I do not care. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 20, 12:38
I thought it was a great signing too -- nm - Beaker Jun 20, 12:24
I'm sure no longer having Yunel on the team is thanks enough to the Braves. -- nm - David Jun 20, 12:22 2
- I know he doesn't yet for big power, but I bet he jacks at least one, if not two, this series. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 20, 12:23 1
