	Bobby Abreu - BR Bullpen
		Bobby Abreu is a veteran major leaguer who has a good lifetime batting average, great on-base percentage, good slugging percentage, steals some bases, and has good range in right field.
		Abreu is just really becoming popular after starting in the 2005 All-Star Game and winning the Home Run Derby with a record 41 total home runs, with a record 24 coming in the 1st round.
		Abreu's reasoning is that he does not want to be injured, and it seems to have worked since he rarely requests days off and plays in nearly all of the team's games.
