I hope the story about Escobar displaying a homophobic slur written in his eye-black is not true:
"The Toronto Blue Jays say they're looking into reports that shortstop Yunel Escobar played Saturday's game against Boston with a homophobic slur written in Spanish under his eyes.
Several pictures posted online show Escobar with the message written in his eye-black, a type of sticker players wear under their eyes to reduce the sun's glare.
The words under the 29-year-old Cuban's eyes were "TU ERE MARICON" which can be translated as "You are a f----t."...
If it is true then obviously he will face some sort of fine and suspension. His action may make it easier for AA to decide on next year's short stop position (if there was a decision needed at all); however, Adeiny Hechavarria may not be ready next year as a regular-only time will tell.
