I'm new to the site so I am not sure if you have debated this topic before, but what do you think of getting Bobby Abreu. Since 03' the guy has put up 100 rbi's and 95+ runs every year. We need a power hitting outfielder until heyward comes up and granted his HR numbers have been up and down I think he can still get the job done. He is also a lock for atleast 20 steals. I like this guy alot because he has experience playing left field (in Houston), right field (Philly & New York), and alittle bit of center in both citys.

No....
Abreu over the past few years has been a product of that short right field porch in Yankee Stadium. His home/road splits are a bit too different for my tastes.
Depends on the cost
There’s not really anyone out there at this point who doesn’t either have holes in his game, is too expensive in money or prospects, or is a head case. I’m not going to knock Abreu or the other mediocre outfield prospects too much, it just depends on the cost. However, Abreu seems too gotten pretty out of shape with the Yankees. I hate all things Yankees, so maybe it was just me, but every time I saw him I thought he looked like a lardass.
lardass
hahaha i’m going to start using that.

he did steal 25, 22 bases in 07 and 08 respectively
although he also got caught 19 times.
i know stealing bases isnt the end all be all in terms of being in shape, but i wouldnt call him a lard ass… he isnt as athletic as he was 5 years ago but not many guys in their mid 30s are
"We win today, that's two in a row... if we win tomorrow, that's called a winning streak. It has happened before..."
hey!
Heyward and Shaffer need to get theyre feet wet!!Bring them on up.
I think he meant Jordan Schafer, and dude they are definately not ready. Heyward is 19 years old, you can’t bring up a 19 year old because 90% of the time they are not ready and it just hurts their confidence.

OT: Pujols is better than A-Rod
Check out the stats, it’s not even close.
How is this relevant? You are right though Pujols is alot better then A-Rod.
