southsider2k5 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 31, 2010 -> 11:15 PM) Ozzie Guillen had enough hitting ability to play at SS and he never had an OPS+ higher than 85. What was acceptable for a SS was much different until Cal Ripken started to change that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce_Blixton Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Nice to see Escobar lighting up the AFL, very Morel-esque. Anyone else see him putting up Orlando Cabrera type numbers potentially? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in the AL, the era of the big run producing SS has seemingly come to a grinding halt the last few years. The AL put up on average a .666 OPS out of the SS position last year. In 2000, AL shortstops averaged a .768 OPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisoxfan09 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Anyone think Escobar can develop into our version of Starlin Castro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the major leagues by age 20? I think he's going to have to do some growing younger first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what cracks me up as a Sox fan, we have a decent prospect come up and is still years away and they hit a few HR's in the AFL (which is a HITTER'S LEAGUE PEOPLE) and suddenly this prospect is comparable to top 25 prospects.
