Bobby Abreu? coming to Cincinnati?

Speculation over at www.mlbtr.com (quickly becoming one of my favorite websites) has the top 20 free agents left and the most possible suitor for them. Included in the list was Bobby Abreu (easily in the top 20) coming to Cincinnati. Right away I was thinking "how would this work?" He's really not exactly what the team is looking for, or needs, but if you were going to pick from what's left he's gotta be looking pretty good. Not so many years ago he was considered a great player, and he's been putting up average numbers over the past couple years. I've never heard much about his defense but I don't think he'd be any worse than what we threw out there before. The only problem I can think of is that if signed then that would mean a middle of the lineup featuring Bruce, Votto, Abreu, and Philips. Signing him would not help with what we struggled with last year (left handed pitching) but would certainly make this team better. And I really don't see much else out there that have a chance of coming to the Reds that would improve the offense that much. MAYBE Ty Wiggington but I'm not convinced he would make the team that much better. Any thoughts on what else Abreu would bring to this lineup?

 

 

For the record, I'm still holding out hope that somehow Pettitte will sign here and round out the pitching staff. But I'm not holding my breath.
