April 29, 201411 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 04:40 PM) For the twitterers out there... The @79Abreu account is fake I saw that account, unfollowed just now. Who does that kind of stuff? Losers...
May 1, 201411 yr From Dave Cameron's chat at FanGraphs: 12:21 Comment From Will What would you imagine Jose Abreu would fetch if he was put back on the market after the first month of the season? More than 68 million? 12:21 Dave Cameron: 168 million. 12:21 Dave Cameron: Probably over 8 or 9 years instead of 6, but he’d get way more. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/fangraphs-chat-43014/
May 1, 201411 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 1, 2014 -> 03:57 PM) The special will include every half-inning in which Abreu homered. I am really happy as the next person ...... but overkill ?

May 1, 201411 yr MLB Stat of the Day @MLBStatoftheDay 41m Jose Abreu now has 71 total bases for the season. Highest ever for a rookie in months of March/April.

Highest ever for a rookie in months of March/April. Cuba is really a great unkwn esp for players.... I wish we can get a equal talent in a pitcher as Jose is a hitter.

His relationship with Puig is mentioned within if someone feels the need to page Caulfield. nice article and again shows his class, when he didn't want to get into the reason him and puig are not talking.
May 1, 201411 yr I'm surprised he said that much - since he did, it makes me wonder if something funny happened with Puig's defection...maybe Abreu was to be involved, maybe Puig was supposed to be a part of Abreu's defection, something like that.

I wonder if there is any major pitcher that may defect, with Jose and Alexie being our rep.... maybe we can have a inside track.
May 4, 201411 yr Author Anyone that can confirm or deny my recollection on Abreu of him having a tendency of getting a bit antsy in big situations and getting swing-happy? Might be a bit unfair as he's got a walk-off grand slam, but I think there's been a few times where he seems to get to the plate and feels like he has to swing at everything.

May 4, 201411 yr He's a piece of garbage human being, no question. Stick your pocket back in your pants, asshole.

There's no doubt he has to learn to take walks because sometimes the pitchers would rather take their chances on the next guy up. There's the learning curve he has to go through. They won't challenge him much now . It'll be get yourself out or take your walk. Trust your teammates can do the job too in the late innings.
May 4, 201411 yr I think we will see a lot of ups and downs with Abreu, he seems to be in a down valley right now, he looks like he did when he went 1/25
May 4, 201411 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 4, 2014 -> 01:43 PM) I think we will see a lot of ups and downs with Abreu, he seems to be in a down valley right now, he looks like he did when he went 1/25 It only seems that way because now his HR's are solo shots since Eaton or Semien are no longer on base when he hits one out. But he's actually at .280 with 2 jacks and 2 doubles in his last 7 games More extra base hits than singles which is inline with what we've seen of him so far.

May 4, 201411 yr Jose needs to learn to either lay off the slider or hit it or he will never see a fastball again
May 4, 201411 yr By my rough math of Abreu's HR/PA and giving him 700 PA appearances on the season, he is on pace to hit 60.
