Three or four years ago, sure. He's now a .250 hitter with little-to-no power.

I dont expect much from this team either.
one thing they have going for them though is that minus Detroit, the other 3 teams in the division are pretty damn shitty....so they might be able to limp dick their ways to a 2nd place finish again

That probably depends on the injury situation. If they can stay reasonably healthy, 75-80 wins is within reason. If it's anything like last year, forget it...90-95 losses are certain.buckeyemania11;2134225; said:

Sweet Jesus. I thought OhSportsFan was just floating his name. I didn't know this was legit...buckeyemania11;2134226; said:Bobby Abreu????a 38 year old washed up slugger....woot woot.

Eh, whatever. He can't be any worse than whoever else they were gonna trot out there. So long as the asking price isn't much more than a gatorade cooler and a couple of batting gloves.

This is the world we live in as Cleveland fans. :ohwell:OHSportsFan;2134237; said:Yeah...[Mark May]'s real.
Oh well. If it happens, maybe he hits well enough to net a B-level prospect at the deadline from a competitor looking for a bat.

another Indians draft dud on his way out
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/03/indians-close-to-trading-trevor-crowe.html
Crowe was the Indians 1st round pick in 2005 (#14 overall) and has managed a .245 AVG with 3 HR 55 RBI and 29 SBs in 205 MLB games (713 plate appearances)

At least we may get something in return for him. I had him pegged as a minor league body or DFA candidate...buckeyemania11;2134239; said:

It's no secret Abreu is pissed as fuck at the Angels, because now that Morales is healthy he has nowhere to play but DH, and they like his bat a lot more than Abreu's. He could bring us a .221 average, 12 homers, 44 Rbis, and maybe half a dozen steals in 300 plate appearances. TITLES

What's that, a case of turtle wax and a rack of bats? I imagine we'll get someone in A ball or Abreu for him...which means we have diddlesquat to show for yet another first rounder. The Veikune syndrome strikes again.

He played mostly DH last year. I doubt he's much more than an average fielder at this point, but he does have a gold glove, and still has enough speed to steal 20 bases last year, so he can't be that bad. Certainly no worse than Duncan offensively or defensively.Bucklion;2134252; said:It's no secret Abreu is [censored]ed as [censored] at the Angels, because now that Morales is healthy he has nowhere to play but DH, and they like his bat a lot more than Abreu's.

While it is comical in a way, grabbing another player off the scrap heap, if the Angels are going to eat a large portion of his salary, and there isn't much sent in return, it can't be all that bad of a deal. It's not like he's blocking any kids in the OF. Plus, we all know Pronk isn't going to pass 400 plate-appearances, so he'd likely DH some too.
Also, like I said, best case scenario: he hits halfway decent and a contender comes calling at the deadline looking for a lefty bat.

Yeah. Fortunately, Antonetti appears to put more stock in the draft than they have in the past. So hopefully the days of almost all of our 1st rounders washing out in AA-ball are over.Bucklion;2134254; said:
