Jose Abreu Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) Albert Pujols is the only player to record 30 home runs and 100 RBIs in his first two seasons. In his second season, Jose Abreu has 27 home runs and 86 RBIs with 24 games left. In his last 6 games, he is hitting .375 with 3 home runs with 6 RBIs. Will he match Pujols' feat? (Decided against posting the Sun-Times link I saw about this. You're welcome.) Edited September 11, 2015 by Jose Abreu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 He'll get the hrs. Don't see him getting the rbis. Hardly his fault though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasttriptotulsa Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 He'll get there. Using his HR, RBI rates from the entire season puts him on track for 32 HRs, 101 RBIs. If he finishes the final 24 games using his second half pace he is on track for 33 HRs, 105 RBIs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shysocks Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 30/100 is a lot rarer today than it was back in 2001-2002. Now Pujols broke in with 37/130 and 34/127, so that's a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I don't think he'll be able to get either. I feel like the offense is going into autopilot the last few weeks of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a good chance that he slows down like last September, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panerista Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 He ought to get there. Really impressive stuff. More impressive for Pujols, who did so as an actual rookie. Let's be honest, Abreu is in his prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I'm selfishly hoping he doesn't do it until Sunday, when I'm there, but I also don't want to risk it, so I am hoping he does it any day now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 30/99 now. Had a shot at RBI 100 with a runner in scoring position in the 8th and two outs, but he grounded out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Oh, and there's this: With his home run tonight, Jose Abreu is the first player in American League history to record 30+ home runs in each of his first two seasons.
