25 Smartest Moves of the Past 25 Years: Yankees trade for Bobby Abreu

The 2006 Yankees lineup was quite deep. Of the seven players who made at least 500 plate appearances, only one had an OPS+ below the league average 100. They had the reigning AL MVP in Álex Rodríguez, and a guy who came very close to winning MVP (and arguably should’ve) that season in Derek Jeter.

The “I can’t believe he has a real Hall of Fame case” tier of players: Bobby Abreu

There is something interesting about the hall of fame. Arguments are made based on a variety of factors that often best suit the narrative you want to push. For instance, it is suitable to focus on awards if you want to support Yadier Molina’s Hall of Fame case like we discussed in last week’s segment. I’m sure that somewhere down the line a small portion of people will focus on postseason success when talking about Madison Bumgarner.

Larry Bowa on Bobby Abreu: ‘Eventually, this guy should be in the Hall of Fame’

Count one of Bobby Abreu’s former managers among those who believe that the Philadelphia Phillies Wall of Famer should one day be enshrined in Cooperstown. Larry Bowa — who managed Abreu from 2001-2004, and then was part of Joe Torre’s staff with the New York Yankees in 2006 and 2007 when Abreu was traded to the Bronx — appeared on “Loud Outs” with Ryan Spilborghs and Brad Lidge on MLB Network Radio last week. Bowa gave a glowing assessment as he looked back on Abreu’s 18-year career, and endorsed the sweet-swinging lefty’s Hall of Fame case.

LA Angels you need to know on Hall of Fame ballot: Bobby Abreu

Bobby Abreu is one of four LA Angels on the Hall of Fame ballot this year, and it's easy to see why. Abreu would go in as a Philadelphia Phillie, as he played nine years there. That being said, he spent the second-most amount of time in his career with the Angels (three years, and part of a fourth).
