Rany pointed out a worrying downside to not having a backup middle infielder that I hadn't considered. Its fine to say that Escobar can start every day and that you'll just dial Omaha whenever needed, but if we don't have a backup, then Escobar has to finish every game.
If he bounces back and hits like 2012 thats fine, but if Escobar repeats his crappy 2013 season, then our opponent could take advantage of that late in the game, walking someone to get to Escobar knowing that Yost won't pinch-hit for him.
