    Fantasy Analysis
    The offense is finally coming around for Escobar, who hasn't quite lived up to his billing as a top prospect yet. However, perhaps this will be his breakout year in the majors. Escobar has a .296 average and .345 BABIP in 39 games. His numbers mirror that of his first extended stay in the majors in 2009, when he hit .304 with a .346 BABIP for the Brewers. Escobar is becoming more of a line-drive and ground-ball hitter, which is best for his game. He's not going to develop much home run power, but if Escobar can continue to get on base, then maybe we will finally see the speed on the base paths he flashed in the minors. Escobar is still a low-end Fantasy starter in mixed leagues, but his progress thus far in 2012 is encouraging.
