Disagree on this Yes, he had a bad 3 out of 4 games stretch after Hader went down, then he finished up strong. If Abreu was the closer because...
LOL, ok But Abreu has been extremely consistent and I much prefer someone who I know is very likely to get the job done vs someone who is very...
Agree But when you start using roster spots for strict OF platoons, you better have a damn good utility guy
Understand, just not how I would go about it One of our two Championships was won in large part because we had a shutdown bullpen. Hell i'd be...
Crap, fangraphs only has them cutting their injuries by 39.1% this year We are cooked
Oh yea, if Early or Tolle is involved along with Abreu, that's a completely different situation
Agree with that last part when you are talking about players 22, 23, 24 years old. Abreu took a long time to develop, is already 27 years old. He...
That would be extremely risky in my opinion. Don't get me wrong i'd love to get Tolle But I don't think we can afford to lose Abreu if we are...

And they have an abundance of OF and need a 3B On their roster, Paredes>Duran In NO WAY do I want us to trade Paredes, but this one makes so...
They consider Early less risky than Tolle, but more of a sure thing to be a mid rotation guy where Tolle has more upside They got burned on...
It's like Whitley untouchable
There is no way I would include a prospect along with Paredes for Abreu. Paredes is a better player than Abreu Duran is a different story, he has...
Most people just look at war, ops, whatever number they like Very few care about the "quality" of the at bat guys give anymore. I agree with you....
You aren't finding another catcher in that scenario Crane isn't going to agree to go into the tax for a backup catcher. If you keep everyone as...
