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-->
Abreu wasn't signed until Dunn, Bradley and Ibanez were all gone -- which you'd think would up his value. However, the timing was such that all the owners decided not to spend any many anymore because of the economy. So...I'm sure Abreu was pretty sure he was going to get more -- a lot more.
