Since the Jays won’t give us some news to write about, let’s start the Hall of Fame polls.is on the ballot for the fourth time. Last year he was on 8.6% of the writers’ ballots. Of course, there have been times when players start in the single digits and gain votes to make the Hall over the years, but Abreu’s numbers aren’t growing.Abreu had a very good 18-year career. He hit .291/.395/.475 with 288 home runs and 400 steals in 2425 games. To me, the significant number is the 1476 walks .
Bobby received MVP votes in 7 seasons , but he did everything well. His career had a high peak, but he also had a long stretch of being useful after the peak. To me, Abreu is similar to Scott Rolen, good at so many things , not a traditional Hall of Famer but someone who is more deserving than you would think at first glance.
He is the type of player I would love to have on my team. Few thought of him as a Hall of Fame player during his career, but he was an excellent player. In some ways, he is like Scott Rolen, a player who was good at everything. There are players in the Hall who I think are less deserving.
