    They may be optimistic, but I dont think its unrealistic at all.

    Hoping you're actually pessimistic.

    They're already available from MLB.com as well.

    My friend tried ordering a Abreu jersey shirt for a Christmas gift, but his order was cancelled by the MLB shop. He placed it again...cancelled again. So he gives them a call to see why it keeps getting cancelled. He was told, "He is too new of a player", so they couldn't complete his order, even though "Abreu - 79" was an option on the website.

     

    Not sure if things have changed a month later, but just a heads up if you try to order it at the MLB Shop.

    Is it possible they're just not 100% sure he won't change his number?

    Same thing happened to me. It should work now.

    No, it's final. He was even introduced as #79 on his signing day.

    After what's been said about him as of late, I'm changing my prediction to .285/36/95

    Got a link for it? For some reason I cant find it

     

    It's kind of confusing the way they do it. You have to go into the "personalized jerseys" and then they have a drop down menu that has all the players available.

     

    Quick link to the personalized jerseys

    But you have to call them and do it otherwise they cancel it. It's annoying as f***. You have to get one from CSD or SoxFest really.

    I am just going to put this in here because I can't find the original we signed Abreu thread.

     

    Joel Sherman ‏@Joelsherman1 7m

    Mentioned on Hot Stove teams believed to have bid over $60M on Jose Abreu were winning #Whitesox plus #Redsox #Brewers #Astros

     

    Surprising that the Rockies aren't mentioned as there were reports they were finalists as well.

    Yea who knows? There was a lot of misinformation being spread during that whole ordeal, maybe the Rockies interest was over stated or they just weren't willing to go that high. Even if they went to $55 million or something that's still a respectable bid.

    And this: Polled 23 execs for spring preview. Their 3 best free-agent signings: 1) McCann, 2) Hudson, 3) Jose Abreu http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/10444000...-preview-survey …

    No Tanaka. I like it. But Hudson? Really?

  • Quote

    Heard Laurence Holmes say on 670 earlier tonight that Abreu was putting on a clinic in the batting cage today. Everybody is taking note of his work ethic and approach. I am really excited about this guy, I think we have the steal of the offseason.

    Price of contract was a factor...

    Levine must be in mourning because he's not on the Cubs.

    Word. Man if this goes as planned then we will not only have one of the best hitters in the world, but a shining beacon of work ethic and professionalism as an example for the young guys we're feeding in. f***ing genius if it pans out.

    Probably not, he said he rather have Rizzo lol

  • Quote

    I really like Abreu's professionalism so far both on the field, in the media, and in the clubhouse. Beckham and Eaton already gave him the nickname "Yogi" because he looks like a bear lol.

     

    Like a poster above said if this all goes as planned, the core of this line up has so much potential.

     

    The core of

    Abreu

    Garcia

    Davidson

    Eaton

    Viciedo

    Semein

     

    Mix in couple key free agents and this team can be competing for a while, but everything has to go as planned.

    Jose Abreu said he looks forward to having access to Paul Konerko this season. #WhiteSox
