What he brings on defense goes without saying.

Just saying if you remember Ordonez for the Mets is that he won 3 straight gold-gloves at short when he was 26-28. Had what many consider the best defensive season EVER by a shortstop. However, he just couldn't hit and finished with an avg around .250 or so. Just saying given Escobar's age, his amazing fielding, but supposed suspect bat that I saw some similarities.
