Not really sure he is worthy of a re-sign but he plays a position of need and my other SS prospects are a few years away.
Old contract: $428,000 (2015)
New Contract: $5,000,000 (2018) (NTC 2016)
Basing this offer of what Castro and Walker have received.
Stats for each:
r hr rbi sb avg ops
Escobar: 29 yo
76 3 47 17 .257 .614
423 24 299 .262 .642
castro 25yo
52 11 69 5 265 671
391 62 363 75 281 725
walker 30 yo
68 16 71 4 269 756
405 93 418 26 272 769
As you can see the only categories he leads in are Runs and SB, he simply serves as a solid option for me to plug in at SS so I can focus on other positions. There also arent many SS options in Free Agency. He is a Gold Glove SS, but that doesnt mean much in this format. In career numbers he is close to the others in Runs and only leads by a large amount in SB.
