The Angels have no plans to trade Bobby Abreu:

“I understand what Bobby brings to the table — it’s a veteran bat with tremendous on-base skills and understanding of the strike zone,” Dipoto said. “Did he have the same production in 2011 as he showed in his career? No. Is it a harbinger of things to come? We’ll see. But he’s a known commodity. Everyone is speculating on where all the pieces fit. I think there’s a good place for him to impact this club.”

It’s nice to see a GM speak so clearly on a player’s strengths. It would be nice to see Bobby have one more great OBP season and possibly push his career number back over .400. Yes, I know those three points are likely meaningless, but Abreu was one of the great players of his era, and I’d love to see him finish with a round number.

Hat tip, Halos Heaven.
