The seasonal age 32 Escobar is having one of his better power years, with a .478 slugging percentage. He hit 22 home runs so far, his third highest single season total. His high stands at 35. Brewers third basemen own a .231/.308/.395 slash line.

Hummel, at seasonal age 26, is hardly a prospect. He’s listed as a catcher, leftfielder, and designated hitter, which tells me that he’s probably not a great defensive catcher. His strength in the minors is drawing enough walks to have a very high OBP. Ciprian is the main reason for the trade. He’s just 18 years old, and hitting .378/.465/.514 in a handful of plate appearances. The sky’s the limit for the youngster.
