There was never really a big problem with bringing Escobar back as a depth option, but here we are.
Bringing him back as our starting SS was, amazingly, Rizzo's plan all along, as it is pretty clear we never even pursued another shortstop. The so-called scouting WIZARD believed Escobar could be very good despite no evidence to that.
well, the idea was he could hold the fort until Garcia or possibly Cluff or someone we get in trade could step in. He's not even doing that.
