Hmm that's not great to hear.. although I feel like a .188 BABIP is unsustainable anyway you cut it. However, hes also striking out more, walking less, and his contact rate is down 2.5% (84-86.5) from his best year in Atlanta (similar to best year in a Jays uni as well). I still think he could make replacement level though if his D maintains itself....

I just checked and apparently its only a bruise... I completely missed that though. You freaked me out, that would have ensured a quick end to any hopes I had

So I've been keeping a watch on Escobar's numbers throughout the season as I have a bet that he will have a 2 WAR or above this season, and he has some interesting numbers 30 games in. While I recognize its still early and all that, I thought it was worth noting he is currently sporting an impressive -0.2 WAR. That all being said, he has a 20% LD rate with a .188 BABIP..... so I feel like he is due for a correction. Or I'm completely wrong. Has anyone watched many Rays games this year? Anything the eye test can add to this? I guess what I'm really getting at, do I need to start making excuses for my bet?

Long time reader, with a little bit of posting mixed in- I'm ready to jump in here all lines firing. In true Dusty Baker form, it took me about 8 tries to make this account, so you know I'm already in mid-season form. Please don't ban me
