His 2nd half last year? He only played in the 2nd half and he was terrible. His big chance was in August last year and he struck out 16 times in 39 AB's with a .205 avg. Escobar is not our problem right now. Move Nava to 1st and DH Pujols. We need offense.
Let's leave Escobar where he is and not F with the only good thing happening offensively. Let's put Nava at 1st base and keep Gentry in LF and send Cron and Choi down. Cron responds well to that. Pujols will find his way at DH. Cowart is not the answer..
The only thing laughable is that you think people can't look at his major league stats since 2007, and include this year's ST, and make up their own minds.
An everyday 3rd baseman who was the second best offensive player on the Nationals last year and hasn't struck out in 19 games this Spring and is batting .456/.500/.561/1.061 for a guy who would give us 1 or 2 innings every 3 games?
The fan obsession with potential over reality in baseball is bizarre.
