Bobby Abreu lowers his expectations

MLBTradeRumors reports that outfielder Bobby Abreu has lowered his expectations for a 3 year deal and that would cost the team the signed him 10-11 million dollars. Abreu is willing to take a 1 year offer from a club. Word is that there are several clubs interested including Mets, Braves, Angels, Giants, and Red Sox.

Since it looks like the Mets will not be going after Manny Ramirez, Abreu deserves to be looked at. His numbers are:

	G	AB	R	H	2B	3B	HR	RBI	TB	BB	SO	SB	CS	OBP	SLG	AVG
2008	156	609	100	180	39	4	20	100	287	73	109	22	11	.371	.471	.296
Career	1799	6490	1174	1946	454	53	241	1084	3229	1160	1405	318	103	.405	.498	.300

The lineup would improve greatly with him in it I believe. I know that he is a left handed batter and we would benefit more with a right handed batter but Abreu can still hit and drive in runs. He will only be 35 this March.
