Miguel Abreu, outfielder
Where will he be in 2012?
Abreu signed as a minor-league free agent with the Phillies, so if he doesn’t get released he’ll likely play in Reading this season. He’s a .270-hitting corner outfielder with no power, little speed, and little supplementary on-base ability, so he’s unlikely to see any time in the majors.
Miguel Abreu, outfielder
Who is he?
Yet another minor-league second baseman who can hit for a high average, with little power or patience, and who can’t handle the job defensively. Typically, their organizations try to move them to a corner outfield spot, and they don’t hit well enough to play there. If they have some speed, they carve out careers as utilitymen, like Chone Figgins or Eric Patterson. If they don’t have speed, they get released as soon as they have a season in which they hit under .280. The 2010 Tides had a couple of other guys like this, Jonathan Tucker and Paco Figueroa.
Miguel Abreu doesn’t have speed.
