Abreu is a player born in Maracay Venezuela, rose to big leagues on September 1996 with the Houston Astros when it expands to rpster 40 players in major league season.
from 1998 to 2006 played for the Philadelphia Phillies. During these years Abreu does his best seasons, getting 2 of 30 Home Runs and 30 stolen bases, with seasons of more than 100 walks, 100 RBI seasons, the third beat in the lineup in most of these years.
Later that same season of 2006 was traded to the New York Yankees, where he plays the rest of the year and remained there until 2008, when they decide not to offer contract. Ya, a little time to start the 2009 season Abreu signed with Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim team that owns up to date.
But let's talk a little about the characteristics of this player:
Abreu has been a fast runner from the beginning of his carreralo which has allowed him to steal many bases in the big leagues and in Venezuela, is also a fundamental requirement to play gardens; Appearing most often in right field, with some exceptions Caracas Lions where he played center field. This speed has allowed him to steal 357 bases in major league baseball to date being the 3rd among Venezuelans in history, and ranked among the top 100 of all time in the MLB.
also has a strong arm to doubt the riders making the time to take an extra base, the right fielder's position is right for an arm like yours.
Abreu is a good fielder with good range that provides the speed of legs, and be safe with the glove, won a Gold Glove in the National League in 2005
is the most complete hitter Venezolano existed, as heard from the majority baseball commentators, including ESPN's Enrique Rojas, a claim which I share because the numbers support Abreu. Is able to hit for power, with several seasons of 30 or more home runs a few other more than 20 ..
is a line-drive hitter, which helps to promote many races aspect which is second among the Venezuelans under Andres Galarraga, it produces much into the alleys, with a swing educated and natural talent is capable of hitting to all sectors of the field.
to this date has already logged more than 2000 hits being the 3rd among Venezuelans behind Vizquel and Aparicio, with its average of 299 is behind Magglio Ordonez and Miguel Cabrera. You have connected 263 home runs being located also in 3rd among Venezuelans behind Andres Galarraga and Magglio Ordoñez
Abreu won the Home Run Derby in 2005 at Comerica Park, imposing record of 41 homers during the entire competition.
This week I get to 500 doubles for life, another important round number for his career. With over 1200 runs scored is also in 3rd after Vizquel and Aparicio.
Hardly hitters will see many more patients in the home that Abreu, 3rd batter to be very selective, making it unlike most of those in this position batting lineup. It is very student of pitching, keeping a high concentration while in plate and in the dugout, always with a plan at home and rarely gets out of it.
has numerous attractions that can give you a chance to get to the hall of fame, but has a deficit of hits, as its manager Mike Scioscia in Anaheim, that if he had more hits and fewer walks his chances would be higher, because an almost essential requirement is to have 3000 hits per vida.Entre things more relevant is to have 250 home runs, 2000 hits, 1000 runs, 1000 RBIs, 1000 walks and 300 steals; The others who have done this are Barry Bonds, Craig Biggio, Joe Morgan Rickey Henderson and Willie Mays, three of them in the hall of fame, the other two must meet 5 years after his retirement and insurance will be there.
Abreu seems to me that you are about 3 100% productive seasons in the big leagues yet, but that as he always decides his fitness, you can still continue to improve those numbers and become perhaps the best Venezuelan playing in the older, time will tell
