Surely, but there's also been plenty of times where he's come through in the later innings that everyone else forgets about. If there weren't, he wouldn't be hitting .300 in those situations.Comment

Re: Phillies trying to trade Bobby Abreu
And I never said he is a poor second half player. This year, he was. But when Bowa was here and the Phillies were in the hunt, Abreu would come up small in crucial series.
And his defense as well. Remember late last season, I think against the Mets...he frigged up in the outfield a couple times and cost them any chance at the playoffs.Comment

Re: Phillies trying to Bobby Abreu
Yeah. He went 1 for 8 with an RBI single, 6 walks, and 4 strikeouts. Where are those "countless times"?Comment

Re: Phillies trying to trade Bobby Abreu
Yeah, because a select 4 strikeouts over 719 plate appearances really says a lot about his ability.
I'm sorry, but using 8 at-bats to determine supposed clutch ability doesn't seem legit to me.
Not that I'm one of those who believes clutch ability exists anyway...Comment

Originally posted by Programmed2KillSo you would say Abreu has come up as clutch as Burrell has been over his career?
Originally posted by Programmed2KillOr as clutch as Utley and Howard last year?
Abreu: .298/.422/.571
Utley: .313/.427/.613
Howard: .283/.411/.600
2005 Overall
Abreu: .286/.405/.474
Utley: .291/.376/.540
Howard: .288/.356/.540
So no, probably not.Comment

Re: Phillies trying to trade Bobby Abreu
Well suit yourself. I'd rather have someone that isn't afraid of being in a pressure situation, on both offense and defense.Comment

TRADE HIM TO THE MARINERS, BUDDIES!!
We could use annother 30 jacks a year, and that speed!
matter of fact, with Abreu and one of the many decent FA starters this offseason, the M's could quickly go from last place in the AL West to second or first!
We'll give you....uhhmm....TWO QUALITY STARTERS...the potential CY YOUNG WINNER Ryan Franklin, and the man with the awesome unbeatable curve...Gil Meche!! TWO AMAZING STARTERS FOR ONE OUTFIELDER!!

Originally posted by StoudI'd like to see Abreu on the Mariners. Never gonna happen, but a guy can dream, can't he? Two lefties who can hit righties well?? It would be a dream come true. Especially since Ibanez could DH and play first if Richie got injured.
