October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 09:19 PM) But his bros call him Darry Darry Bonds Send that to Hawk
October 18, 201312 yr I wanted Yonis... No dice. I wanted Puig... Strike two. I wanted Abreu... Homerun?
October 18, 201312 yr If there wasn't a game MLBTR would be covering the hell out of this. They usually have me covered.
October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 09:18 PM) He is 26, not 16. I know...but there is always someone commenting on that.
October 18, 201312 yr Some of you guys like following this s*** more than the actual games. Well, we do suck so it's understandable.

October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (ChiSoxFan05 @ Oct 18, 2013 -> 02:20 AM) Was Puig this hyped out of Cuba? No don't think Puig was hyped at all. I forget what the reason was, perhaps that he never performed in front of American scouts. Dodgers knew something no one else though and offered big money.
October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 07:20 PM) So is Abreu projected to be better then Cespedes/Puig?? Or just in hitting? He's acclaimed as the best hitter out of Cuba... Ever. One scout has said that he could even be the best current baseball hitter ON THE PLANET. Other tools however, not so much. He's a different type of beast than Puig or Cespedes... A f***ing BEAST thou, non the less
October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 09:23 PM) He is a hitter. Weak-average fielder and not athletic. Puig and Cespedes have the tools but Abreu had more offense in Cuba than both of them. So basically he is just a pure hitter? No speed?
October 18, 201312 yr Why does the title say "reportedly sign" when at-best they were "reportedly finalizing a deal"?
October 18, 201312 yr Jeff Passan @JeffPassan 1m Astros also are out on Abreu. Other reports indicate Red Sox out. One source suggested there could be last-right-of-refusal mystery team. Edited October 18, 201312 yr by fathom
October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 09:26 PM) Yeah, but he's a first baseman. Yeah I know, I was hoping he had some of that Cuban speed! lol.

October 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 09:24 PM) No don't think Puig was hyped at all. I forget what the reason was, perhaps that he never performed in front of American scouts. Dodgers knew something no one else though and offered big money. Puig's character issues were cited as potential weakness, as well as the belief that he needed MiLB seasoning, which he did, though he jumped quicker than people thought

October 18, 201312 yr If the sealed bid thing was a gimmick, there's a chance that a lot of this smoke is Abreu's people trying to get the sox to 70m
