The Baseball Writers Association of America has released the ballot for the 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame voting, so we are doing polls on the players on the list.
Today is rightfielder Bobby Abreu.
Bobby Abreu was originally signed out of Venezuela by the Houston Astros. He spent four years on Baseball America’s top 100 prospect list, and got a cup of coffee in 1996 and 59 games in the majors in 1997. The Astros opted to leave him unprotected in the expansion draft after the 1997 season, however, and was selected by the Tampa Bay Rays, who promptly traded him to the Philadelphia Phillies for Kevin Stocker.
