They yearn to see a highly talented, very productive player pull a hamstring running hard to first base on every single play, even a likely out…or even better, a barely major league quality, platoon player hustling like mad on every single play (partially because he has nothing to lose, has plenty of energy from spending so much time on the bench, and the team is not really worse off if he’s injured for two months).
The Braves will be stupid to give up on Escobar now, especially with Cox considering retirement in the next couple of seasons.

They would’ve done better keeping Failcouer.

The Twins could use a good young shortstop and it sounds like they might be looking to move Delmon Young this winter.
I’m not suggesting straight up, but maybe something involving the two?
