Jose Abreu

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Jan 15, 2014 -> 08:24 PM) Same here. Except for the erection part. +1

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 15, 2014 -> 04:00 PM) This site became Chaveztalk at the trade deadline in 05. It was fun. People argued, lines were drawn, eyeballs were gouged, and then the trade deadline passed and Crede remained the starter How many pages were in the thread?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 15, 2014 -> 03:56 PM) Im not sure about that, but Eric Chavez singlehandedly changed this entire website for a day Wait, what?

“I wouldn’t say I’m anxious but I want to start,” Abreu said. “I want to get it going. That’s why I’m going to come back in on Feb. 3 and get it going here.”

“We try to keep in mind that it’s Jan. 14 and we still have a ways to go,” Hahn said. “But just watching Jose go through his work, you saw that professionalism as well as the plus-plus power on display today in only his first couple of rounds of BP. He’s a very serious hitter. He’s one who goes up there with a plan and has a great deal of ability and it’s going to be fun to see how this plays out over the next couple of years.”

“That’s a strong man right here,” hitting coach Todd Steverson said of Abreu. “That’s a big man. He has a nice smooth, compact approach. He didn’t try to do too much with the ball and the ball was flying off his bat. I think he has a nice bright future coming up with him.”

Can we get a thread title change?

Kosuke Fukodome was on the team, people. The article writer and commenters of the article fail to realize this

Actually, once I posted something about Abreu and another user asked me why I was typing in 3rd person. This was just a couple weeks ago. Wasn't really my idea nor do I enjoy doing it/think it's funny, but if I don't make a comment about me talking in the 3rd person, some smartash will do it and it just becomes a big cycle.

I am releasing an official media statement on those complaining about my username shortly.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jan 13, 2014 -> 02:00 PM) He's going to have a 40/40 year. 40 HR and 40 RBI. Because of our lineup

I thought he got married in October. Oh well. Congrats Gordon

QUOTE (beautox @ Jan 12, 2014 -> 11:18 PM) Yes, heres to hoping he defects next year and Dayan proves he is a capable ML hitter and moves over to DH Isn't Alfredo getting old for a max contract in MLB? Is he 28 yet?

QUOTE (beautox @ Jan 12, 2014 -> 10:05 PM) 290/360/520 25HR 9%BB 18%K Alfredo Despaigne? Is that your picture?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 12, 2014 -> 10:03 PM) I have noticed that as well. They have a bunch of retreads coming to camp with them. A guy who would make a lot of sense would be an Eric Chavez type. I believe Chavez signed back with the D-back. We have Conor Gillaspie. He's kind of like Chavez. He doesn't field as well or hit as much but he is LH and he stands by 3B. Gillaspie and De Aza for a scrub

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jan 12, 2014 -> 09:04 PM) You, Mr. Abreu... Are a pure hitting beast. You're more than just a power guy. You'll hit at least .280 and will easily aproach 25 doubles and 25 bombs. I suspect however, that you'll far surpass those marks in what will be a fine rookie season. Thank you hi8is. Also, did you edit my quote?

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jan 12, 2014 -> 06:56 PM) I think .260 with 20 HR. I think he starts slow at AAA or platoon at IB /DH in Majors. Then produces 2nd half of season. Is a AAA start even an option? And don't start screaming Puig. We're paying Abreu far more.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 12, 2014 -> 03:28 PM) I wonder how many times Steve Adams has seen him play. I bet less than 10 games. Nobody has really seen him play. I guess if you don't count those YT videos of him hitting a few bombs in the WBC.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 12, 2014 -> 03:16 PM) Cespedes came over and hit .292/.861 OPS as a rookie. Struggled more last year but still hit .240 with his numbers really being knocked down by strikeouts. The consensus I saw was that Abreu had a much better approach and eye at the plate than Cespedes. If he hits .240 and strikes out 130+ times, yeah I'm probably going to be disappointed. 130+? I've seen several ESPN/MLBTR guys label him as a 200 K guy.
