I'm certainly not sold on Abreu either. I'm one of the ones hoping Kent comes back for 1 more seeing how he's played thus far. I'd hate to look forward to next season with Abreu being thrust into the starting 2B position seeing how our 2nd best option is....*gulp*...REM.
Still, having a young, bonafide everyday starter or quality propsect at each position is pretty nice. That's what I was going for.
Those "gimme" walks in the 8-spot come usually in 2 out situations anyway--just look at Betemit's OBP with men on and 2 out this year versus other situations.Originally Posted by lath19
If we had a good offense I wouldn't mind having him as the late-inning pinch runner. (a la Dave Roberts for the '04 Red Sox)Originally Posted by lath19
