Boom or Bust: Yunel Escobar

A SS with a solid AVG, strong OBP skills and some power and few strikeouts is a rather rare thing so fantasy owners had high expectations for Yunel in 2010. Escobar failed to live up to expectations and was shipped to Toronto. He regained some of the AVG and power but the promise he showed in 2009 failed to surface. The power may never develop but his AVG and OBP should still make him a productive SS especially if the Jays keep him at #2 in the order. He is a #2 SS going into 2011 with an outside shot at breaking the top 10.

Boom Prediction: 632AB/183H/.290AVG/14HR/74RBI/97R
Bust Prediction: 558AB/155H/.278AVG/6HR/54RBI/79R
