Everyone here thought Rizzo struck gold with him last year. Which is why it’s dangerous to get enamored with Franco this year.
The Escobar deal was a smart one and the price low enough that we aren’t hurt for having brought him back. If Adrianza wasn’t hurt, you’d have seen Escobar sent to bench sooner. Franco should absolutely be brought back at a low priced deal, same as Escobar was, with expectation he is a a backup option.
