That makes no sense. Escobar isn't a very good defensive SS. I have no doubt Furcal will be playing SS. Escobar will either be traded or moved to 2B.

I'm not so sure. Furcal's great arm is also his problem. He won't have to throw 95 mph from 2nd base and sail them into the 5th row. I'd rather have Escobar at short and he should still improve at the position.
Furcal's career fielding pct at SS: .966. He's made at least 23 errors 5 times.
