Bobby Abreu

Bobby Abreu is exactly the type of player I love to champion: brilliant in ways the box score reveals only if you look closely. Born in Aragua, Venezuela in 1974, the right fielder bounced through six MLB clubs and quietly did everything well, drawing walks, hitting for power, stealing bases, and fielding cleanly enough to win a 2005 Gold Glove alongside his 2004 Silver Slugger. His induction into Venezuela's Hall of Fame feels fully earned. To me he is a connoisseur's player, undervalued in his day but increasingly appreciated as the complete, patient hitter he truly was.
