Aren’t y’all glad Jeff Bagwell and Jim Crane decided to sign Jose Abreu?
It must have been the plan all along. Win the division with the fewest victories possible. Then, when the playoffs begin, unleash the secret weapon.
I don’t have to tell you how badly Abreu played most of this season. Or how frustrated the fans were about his performance. But in the playoffs, Abreu has four homers, 11 RBI, and a 1.020 OPS. His three-run shot was the decisive hit in this playoff game. He even stole a base. He has hit three of the six longest home runs hit by any player this playoff season.
