We aren’t actually bringing Abreu back right?

Bagwell has gone down there and giving his eyeball test along with the talking to the hitting instructors. Don't quote me on this but it went something like this:

"We won't worry about his exit velocity, power indicators, etc. We're just looking at if he looks right swinging the bat. Once the hits start coming, we're confident he will stop dropping easy pop-ups and watching throws from short go whizzing by. Remember, Jose did us a favor by taking the demotion. So we owe it to him to see where he is at the MLB level."
