2475650, How good is Eduardo Escobar?

a)actually good
b)good enough
c)not that good

I think the answer is "b" but for the second season in a row, he's making us consider that the answer is actually "a". UZR hates his defense this year, but liked it in 2014. And he's got over 40% of his hits going for extra bases.

I don't know. Seems like the good kind of problem. Shortstop isn't an organizational strength, particularly as they realized that Jorge Polanco might profile best as a 2B - a spot which is occupied pretty successfully at the moment. We're stacked at the position in the low minors, with Engelb "why is there a B in his name?" Vielma, Nick Gordon, and now Wander "Bigger bonus than Sano means he's really fucking good, right?" Javier. But that's kind of a common thing at the lower levels.

So, good enough is good enough for now. If he turns out to be actually good, then good for us. And if he's just good enough, hopefully he'll stay that way until we get somebody good.
