ALCIDES ESCOBAR RUMORS
CATCH HIM IF YOU CAN
Royals fan runs on field, steals rosin bag
This is just impressive. In the bottom of the eighth inning, a fan in Kansas City rushed the field as Angels pitcher Michael Kohn was getting ready to deliver a pitch to Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar. The fan ran towards the pitcher’s mound and, in one of the best fan-on-the-field juke moves ever, stole the rosin bag and evaded security momentarily with a tremendous slide...

Fan runs onto field at Royals-Angels game, steals rosin bag, makes cop eat dirt (Video)
A fan ran onto the field at Kauffman Stadium during the middle of the eighth inning in a game between the Los Angeles Angels and Kansas City Royals, providing some of the best excitement of the night.

Alcides Escobar is Playing like an MVP
by John Viril—
Kansas City Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar has enjoyed a fabulous month of April. Escobar is batting .290/.337/.452 in 102 PA’s. He’s tied with Alex Gordon and Billy Butler for the team lead in home runs with 3. His fielding has also been terrific, reversing last year’s anomalous negative ranking in Ulitmate Zone Rating. Currently his UZR/150 (extrapolating...
Red Sox fan goes all out attempting to catch foul ball
After a Alcides Escobar foul ball, one Boston Red Sox fan went all out in an effort to catch a souvenir ball during Sunday’s Sox/Royals game. The man deserves some sort of award for his determination and falling down several Fenway Park stairs to make the catch.
Better than this catching a Yuniesky Betancourt home run, right?

Red Sox fan makes amazing diving catch to snag foul ball (Video)
It looks like we have an early candidate for "Major League Baseball fan catch of the year"...
During last Sunday's Boston Red Sox/Kansas City Royals game, a foul ball hit by KC's Alcides Escobar went towards the Fenway seats and one fan decided to leap to make the play.
In the process, he also fell down some stairs but still held the ball up to prove that...
Player Profile #107: Alcides Escobar | SS | KC
For three years fantasy owners had been praying for Alcides Escobar to contribute somewhere (anywhere!) to justify rostering him and his potential. In 2011 we saw Escobar start to scratch the surface of his fantasy value, stealing 26 bases and scoring 69 runs while not doing much of anything else. Last year Escobar sneaked (because “snuck” isn’t a word, folks!) inside the top...
Escobar continues to be a benefactor for this struggling Royals team.
Alcides Escobar continues to show up that maybe, just maybe, Kevin Seitzer knows what he's doing. Over the past few weeks it seems like there's been a tug of war match between Escobar and future hall-of-famer Derel Jeter for top batting average among short stops. At the moment there is a stalemate between the two, both being at .311, however Alcides is in the top...
Escobar emerging as offensive weapon
For most of 2011, the Royals and their fans figured they had one of the best defensive shortstops in baseball in Alcides Escobar.
They also figured they had a light-hitting shortstop, a fact they were willing to live with.
As it turns out, the Royals and their fans won't have to live with the latter anymore.
Escobar, 26, has emerged as an offensive weapon, so much so that...

Why Alcides Escobar should bat leadoff
Alcides Escobar should bat leadoff for the Kansas City Royals. Immediately. Your response may be, "WHAAAA???!!!!" or "WTF is WRONG with you?!" Allow me to expound before you throw me off a cliff.
There are some conditions to put in place in order for this to make sense, so let's do that:
1. Alex Gordon is going to continue hitting in the...
