Escobar does a lot of exciting things well - defense, baserunning, bunting. However, getting on base is still not one of those things, nor is hitting for power - especially at an sufficient MLB level. What's the rush? Its unlikely he's a better option than a Counsell/McGehee/Hall combo at 2B (Gamel should be playing everyday at 3B) especially if you're expecting him to take on an important offensive role, and even if he is it would be a very marginal upgrade.
