Mets Welcome Abreu

Mark Hale of the NY Post, the Mets are set welcome Abreu to the organization...NOT BOBBY ABREU...This Abreu is Michel Abreu, a 6-foot-3, 230 pound first baseman from Cuba. Abreu can also play Left and 3rd base. Abreu was Cuba's leading HR hitter for four consecutive years. He defected from Cuba in 2004 and signed with the Boston Red Sox. His contract was voided 3 weeks later because Abreu was unable to establish residency in the States. Abreu will join the Mets this spring in St. Lucie and try to earn a spot on the team. He should get some playing time as many players will be participating in the World Baseball Classic. More likely than not Abreu will make the team as a back-up 1B, pinch-hitter. I wonder if Abreu would consider a move to right field. If his bat is still strong, that alone might earn him a starting job.
