Fantasy Analysis
Escobar's hitting streak has consisted of a lot of "one-liners". He's gone 1-for-4, 1-for-5, 2-for-4, 1-for-5 and 1-for-4 and isn't exactly tearing the cover off the ball or driving in a lot of runs. He has just two RBI in the five games. But if you consider the overall body of work, a .313 average, four homers, 27 runs scored and 16 RBI, he should be considered a pretty solid shortstop for Fantasy purposes. He's been pretty steady all season. (Updated 05/15/2008).
