There are also several who aren't pleased with Escobar anymore. The Royals wanted Escobar badly. One for one was a stretch, but Dayton Moore does have friends over there. I can't help it that I'm hearing one thing and another writer is hearing something else. It happens. Now, understand that information at this time is always going to get skewed and mixed around a little bit. It's not an uncommon thing for one writer to hear one thing while another hears something completely different. It's just like the NFL Draft. Teams aren't going to tell you EVERYTHING unless it's to their advantage. Same goes for the clubs who have spoken to these teams. It's all a big game.Levi "Tug" Paytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04311564584751551570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096019985917199010.post-31402463994639976522009-07-10T15:49:30.901-05:002009-07-10T15:49:30.901-05:00Tug,

Not that it matters to the Royals now with Yuni onboard, but the Braves do NOT appear inclined to move Escobar.<br /><br />Here is the link... Thoughts??<br /><br />http://markbowman.mlblogs.com/archives/2009/07/braves_not_looking_to_move_esc.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096019985917199010.post-28975068551581117142009-07-09T11:36:51.552-05:002009-07-09T11:36:51.552-05:00Dude, not sure where you're getting informatio...Dude, not sure where you're getting information that they aren't interested in dealing Escobar? Especially since you posted anonymous. Pretty sure they are fed up with his attitude and would DEFINITELY deal him if they could acquire another bat. He and Bobby Cox don't see eye to eye, that's not a secret. It's not as if Escobar is some sort of Derek Jeter and can't be replaced. Lighten up. It's not a secret they're shopping him. Maybe just not to certain teams. Again, rumors are just that...rumors. Just relaying info on what I'm hearing to you guys. To assume that I'm making this up is an insult. Don't shoot the messenger.Levi "Tug" Paytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04311564584751551570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096019985917199010.post-17196424433481924652009-07-07T15:41:00.490-05:002009-07-07T15:41:00.490-05:00Dude, all indications are that the Braves have no ...Dude, all indications are that the Braves have no interest in dealing Escobar, which is exactly the opposite of what you wrote. Where do you get this stuff? Just because teams are calling about a guy doesn't mean the team fielding the call is dying to get rid of him. Escobar would command, at the least Timothy Melville, and then some to even have a shot, and that's if the Braves were looking to deal him, which they are not. This post is solely written on the basis of what you want, and has nothing to do with any aspect of reality.

Escobar is one of the best clutch hitters in baseball, he probably has one of, if not the best arms as a SS in baseball. He is young, cheap and under team control (not even arb eligible yet). There is has beentalk of a deal that would send Matt LaPorta to ATL for Escobar. You think Jose guillen would work? Hahaha. Maybe guillen for JFKs but not for Esco or Vazquez.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
