I was thinking the same thing krk. Abreu may be getting a little older, but he's only 34, I believe. He had very solid production last year, pretty consistent with past years.
Hitting in front of Vlad and Hunter, with Figgins on base, will be a good spot for Abreu, as I don't see his production dipping too much, if at all. His patience at the plate will help that lineup tremendously. $5 MM is a steal.

When you are dealing with the most powerful union in history, hard to see any labor cost is a steal. There have been fighters on some of the bigger UFC cards have only made $15k. I guess examples like that might be considered exploitation rather than a steal
Very good deal for the Angels. Poor defense and on the downside of his career. But 60 extra base hits, a lot of walks and zero injury history. You would think even the lowest payroll teams in desperate need of hitting could afford $8 million or so for that

All he does every season is put up 20/100/.300 with 20 SB's and 90 runs + scored.
It's automatic, put him in the middle of the lineup for 150 games, and that's the numbers you will get.
5 million is a bargain for those guaranteed numbers.
p.s. he is neither overrated no underrated defensivly.
He does have this mental thing with crashing into walls though.
