Fantasy Analysis
Escobar has two base hits in four of his last five games as his bat is heating up for Toronto at the moment. He's only homered twice this season, but Escobar has much more power than that. Escobar has definitely disappointed in the power department, but he could be coming around. He continues to be a worthy Fantasy option in deeper mixed formats. (Updated 05/21/2012).

Yunel Escobar overcame a down 2010 season to return to doing what he does best: Getting on base and scoring runs. With his poor season behind him, Escobar went right back to being the model of consistency that he had been beforehand. In three of his four full seasons, he has hit at least .288, posted an on-base percentage of at least .366 and scored at least 70 runs. While he won't help owners much with steals or homers, Escobar draws walks and makes solid and frequent contact, the latter being demonstrated by his total of five popups last season. Escobar may not be Troy Tulowitzki or Hanley Ramirez with the bat, but he is good enough to be entrusted with a late-round pick in standard mixed leagues. (Updated 1/27/12)
