		I suppose part of the justification for Escobar was that he's a centerfielder, and we needed one who could at least platoon with Inning-Endy.
		It signiifies Bowden was thinking that Escobar could infact play everyday in the majors, even though he hadn't proved that yet, and it seemed very doubtful he ever would.
		If I were to guess I'd say the White Sox picked him out to replace Escobar, because he was the most similar to what they were looking for when they signed Alex in the first place.
