Why is everybody in such a hurry for Escobar to play short. I would be happy to sign JJ to a long term contract and leave him at SS. Everybody raves about Escobar but he does have 17 errors so far this year. His range might be better than JJ's but he can't possibly have a better arm than him. From all accounts I've seen/heard, he does have a better arm than JJ. Many of his errors have come due to his great range. I'm not in a hurry to see Escobar play SS, but if JJ and he are on the same field, it will be Alcides playing SS. I want JJ to be a longterm Brewer and with Escobar coming up soon (by 2010), if JJ is going to be a Brewer past FA, he would need to change positions.
