Yunel Escobar has three hits on Thursday for Angels

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Yunel Escobar went 3-for-5 from the leadoff spot against the Tampa Bay Rays Thursday to raise his average to .327.

What It Means:

Escobar's batting average is about all he offers for fantasy purposes, as he has just three home runs, no steals, 36 runs and 26 RBI's -- one of each which came on Thursday. Despite the fantasy irrelevance, the last-place Angels might be able to flip Escobar for a decent prospect.

Escobar's overall slash line this season is .327/.374/.426 with a .346 wOBA in 332 plate appearances. Our models project him to hit .291/.352/.389 with three home runs and a .323 wOBA over the remaining course of the season.
