He's just one of those guys that grinds out at bats and puts the bat on the ball (although, I am pretty surprised to see that he Ks well over 100 times per year. It doesn't seem like it. Not like ARod who seems to strike out every other AB). Abreu is not typically considered athletic but he does bring several tools to the table. But he'll be 35 on opening day next year so I guess I can see the logic in letting him go.<BR/><BR/><BR/>On Giambi:<BR/>"and his bat speed ain't improving."<BR/><BR/>Why not? Carlos Delgado's mysteriously did. Must've been the Willie firing, right? Riiight.<BR/><BR/>On getting something for Igawa:<BR/>If Cashman manages to get anything for that waste they should give him the exec of the year award on the spot.dinologic (Dean D)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14412884655658158190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106257093107729484.post-39481923860126005492008-09-17T15:45:00.000-04:002008-09-17T15:45:00.000-04:00There's a tear running down my cheek from the corn...There's a tear running down my cheek from the corner of my eye.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I haven't had a good laugh like this in a long time. <BR/><BR/>Like, since about '85.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106257093107729484.post-89378674499300792582008-09-17T14:39:00.000-04:002008-09-17T14:39:00.000-04:00dont get me roiled on the GG awards. i'm still pi...dont get me roiled on the GG awards. i'm still pissed about Palmiero winning one while only playing the field 26 games (over Tino)<BR/><BR/>And Jeter's won a bunch with limited range but a flare for the dramatic. It works both ways.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, Jim Kaat, up for election to the HOF wactually won 16 of them.
