Yunel Escobar sees increase in Fantasy value with trade to Toronto

After being traded to the Toronto Blue Jays Yunel Escobar is capable of retuning to the top 10 of fantasy Shortstops. He will be batting 2nd in an offensively potent Jays lineup. A big upgrade from Atlanta where he was often in the 7 hole had the team's worst hitter and the pitcher to try and drive him in. In Toronto it will be Vernon Wells and Jose Bautista. His power has finally come around and another 7-9 dingers finish of the year isn't out of the question. He is a career .292 hitter despite the .252 average he has put up this season and struck 15 bombs in 2009. 17-20 over a full season with an average hovering near .300 with 30+ doubles at the top of a powerful lineup spells success for fantasy owners.
