That's ridiculous. Even for you.
I notice you are pulling the Oliver projection from Fangraphs and ignoring the other systems (which all have him as basically a league average player overall) listed right next to them. So cool (rolls eyes). Also worth noting that Oliver is WAY different in defensive projections than the other systems (way lower).
Escobar is an elite defensive shortstop. Chris Getz was elite at nothing. The Royals have Escobar secured at a very reasonable salary for the forseeable future. RA Mondesi is likely ready for the majors around the time Escobar gets into his team option years (2016 and 2017). And even in those team option years, Escobar is still a bargain EVEN if he is merely a 1 WAR player.
