Just before Escobar got injured I was going to write about my concern for his batting average, and how I looked back to see how bad he had slid, and I found that he actually has leveled off quite nicely. In April and May he hit .335 and that got us excited, then in June he his .208, which got us depressed, but since then, over the last 2 1/2 months, he has hit .272, which is virtually what he is hitting for the season, so that isn't so bad. Also, I joked last night that we know Vargas can trot (home runs) but he hasn't shown that he can walk (only 4 this year), and tonight he gets an infield hit and a triple. The great, strange game of baseball.
