he hit .306 in 2001 and 300 in 2003, but overall he's a 269 career hitter, .357 OBp, 762 OPS. By contrast Abreu is 300 410 911, he's only hit below 300 for a season w/ over 200 Abs three times, 286 in 2005, 289 in 2001. and 297 last year between Phi and NYY
But like I've said, I think that's a product of hitting behind Cano and Cabrera, and in front of Damon. There's never anyone on base for him, and Damon's been so bad there's no reason to pitch to him. He's getting the bat on the ball, but he's hitting pitches that he shouldn't need to swing at. (And it's not because he's getting fooled, it's just that he's trying to get something going.) My adjusted lineup: Jeter SS Mienky 1B ARod 3B Posada C Giambi DH Damon CF Cano 2B Cabrera LF Abreu RF Sadly, that lineup is great until after the cleanup. Then suddenly the hitting ability plummets.
