Escobar/Hechavarria... SS/2B ?

[Homer Jay]

If we moved Lawire to 3B im sure Hech coming up if he wants to ball in the big leauges will fit any void we ask of him! That will probably be 2B. I dont know why we brought back EE im still blown away. I still cant wait to see a healthy line up next year!

I will take a guy who can play DH, multiple IF and, hopefully OF, positions, and put up an .800 OPS with 23.3 ABs per HR, anyday.

plus he has a high score in swag points. i think he's got 3 years of prime production left before we should actually start considering moving him to 2nd base or to another team. just like we shouldn't waste bautista's prime, we shouldn't waste esco's either...the guy is a legit all-star and perhaps the best SS in the AL.

I like Kelly Johnson and everything, but can you imagine if they traded for Brandon Phillips? No DP combo would have more swag than those two.

Eric Sogard + Jemile Weeks would have something to say about that.

Sogard has no place in this conversation.

Alex Anthopoulos claims neither Escobar nor Hechavarria will be moving from shortstop, but if Hechavarria hits like he did in Vegas after his promotion, the Jays will have to eventually make a decision.

It was a joke. Not a good one, but a joke nonetheless. His nickname (via wikipedia) is "Harry Potter The Wizard of the Baseball Diamond".

Yeah, I looked his picture up after that post and figured it might have been.
