Jose Abreu Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 QUOTE (VAfan @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 02:35 PM) Abreu is unfortunately no longer clearly part of the solution. Maybe, hopefully, he'll find a way to turn it around. Because if he doesn't, replacing Garcia isn't going to make a whit of difference. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 06:50 PM) Realistically he got off to a horrible start, and has trended back to his usual self over the last couple of months. Historically his worst two months with the White Sox are April and May. The last thing we need is another irrational panic about Abreu thread. Here is his OPS by month this year: April .657 May .711 June .885 July .807 OPS+ by month April 82 May 94 June 131 July 114 Batting average by month April .229 May .252 June .306 July .351 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 No offense, but when your second good month is an OPS barely above .800, that's a bit concerning. I'm not writing off Abreu by any means, but the dude needs to at least put 2015 type numbers or we are f***ed. We really haven't seen much of that player this year and until we do, there's nothing wrong with posters being worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, the July OPS isn't quite relevant due to the small amount of games played Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Bernstein: Jose Abreu’s Struggles Weigh On White Sox Bernstein with an article today thinking the same thing. I know that Bernstein sucks and Abreu deserves a free pass or whatever, but the numbers don't lie. He's just a guy now, nothing special anymore.
