Seriously, one year at 5 million is a steal for the numbers he is going to put up. His defense would have been no worse than Bradley's and he plays 150+ games a year.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Good question. I honestly think Lou/Jim thought about <i>personality</i>. There is a contention that the Cubs lacked "fire," and Abreu (and his younger, better counterpart Dunn) have reps for being too mellow.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
