That's Adrian Gonzo territory right there (well, Adrian is usually good for at least 100 RBIs). Adrian can be had about 45 picks later in round 4 or 5 of most standard redraft leagues.

I personally think Abreu is amazing. I think he may only hit 25 to upper 20's homers this year, which many will look at as a disappoint. I think Abreu is a great pure hitter. I think he hits lots of line drives and sometimes will sacrifice that for power. He strikes out a good bit, but when he makes contact it's extremely hard contact. I think he will again bat around .310 and with the improvements in the lineup, I could see him knocking in around 100. So .310, 25-29 homers, 95-105 RBI's...I'm pretty ecstatic about that.

Usually your BABIP leaders are speed guys, largely inflated by beating out hits/bunts etc.


Also guys with High LD% rates like Votto. Jose hits a lot of ground balls though. So the BABIP isn't likely sustainable, but he has plus plus power so his HR/FB rate won't drop that much IMO.
