Batting at the bottom of the Rays order, Escobar has been productive at the plate over his last 21 games hitting .342/.393/.513 with two home runs and 18 RBI over that stretch.","date":"Mon Jun 3"},"fullName":"Yunel Escobar","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Escobar won't win your league for you, but he won't lose it for you, either. He makes excellent contact, then it's up to fate on batted balls. To wit, Escobar's contact rate and distribution of line drives, grounders and fly balls was virtually identical the past two seasons; however, in 2011, he hit a lofty .290 as opposed to a disappointing .253 in 2012. Escobar is moving from the Rogers Centre, a favorable venue, to Tropicana Field, which depresses offense, so a slight drop in his already marginal power is likely.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":1.7,"playerRater15DAY":-3.1,"positionRank":24}
