I know it won't happen because DM is in love with Escobar's glove but I'd love to see it. I'd have a real short leash on Escobar since he's a total zero with the bat. Franklin is 22, hit 225-12-45 in only 300ab. OLIVER projections show him to be a 3.5 WAR guy the next 5 years while Escobar is projected to be a 0.0 WAR:

It is still early but...
