ANALYSIS: Escobar has been a last cut basically every week since I started writing this column. The reasoning behind that? His production to this point has been fueled in part by a BABIP well above his career mark which (say it with me now) isn’t really supported by his underlying data. But regression doesn’t always arrive when it you think it might, and we’re into the dog days of summer at this point. Escobar has been an asset in batting average and OBP and hasn’t hurt his owners anywhere else. For a guy with shortstop eligibility, that’s fairly valuable.
