Jose Abreu
R/R
1B

Trj: 4
Con: ? (Hit .317, but it appears to be mostly BABIP luck, projected to hit .283 in 2015)
Pwr: 190
Spd: 6
Arm: 8
Fld: 5
Eres: 7

I'd be willing to make him after I make Corey Kluber (or not, because AgentP has a version).
This is what I'm thinking:

Trajectory 4
Contact 10-11
Power 185-190
Speed 5
Arm Strength 6-7
Fielding 5
Error Resistance 8

Power Hitter - I say yes, I originally had 195 at most for power, but if we're giving him this then we'll bump it down
VS Lefty 4 - Yes, .353 against lefties, .305 against righties, maybe even VS Lefty 5? that might just be for David Wright then haha
Clutch 4 - Seems like it works, he hit .317 with men in scoring position
Pull Hitter - I say yes, http://www.fangraphs.com/spraycharts.aspx?playerid=15676&position=1B&type=battedball&pid2=15676&ss1=2014&se1=2014&ss2=2014&se2=2014&cht1=battedball&cht2=hittype&vs1=ALL&vs2=ALL
Hot Hitter- Sure, he hit .317 so he had to get multi-hit games
Firstball Hitter - Yes, hit .365 (31 for 85) when the count was 0-0

That's all I can see, I don't think he needs anymore abilities. Or I'm just missing some because I didn't see them haha

Looks about right, if you want to go ahead and make him, its gonna take a few weeks for me to be able to get him done due to my lack of free time as of late

I'll be glad to take him. Like I said before, I might have to make Corey Kluber first. I already have a save file for him because I started with a good skill set: 78 MPH top speed, 97 control, 58 stamina. No poor sense or anything like that, so I'm off to a good start

I agree on the Abreu points - I would nerf CON to the 9 range, based on the BABIP aar0nat0r pointed out. Better chance of him hitting .280 next season than .320 once people adjust to him

This is the finalized version then:

Trajectory 4
Contact 9
Power 185-190
Speed 5
Arm Strength 6-7
Fielding 5
Error Resistance 8

Power Hitter
VS Lefty 4
Clutch 4
Pull Hitter
Hot Hitter
Firstball Hitter

I'd give him 6-7 E-Res and Error Prone, he's most likely going to be the White Sox's DH this season with Konerko gone

I would have went base running 2 and cautious steal

I think I could date Patty while reaching the requirements. I'll give both of the abilities a try.

Had to bunt for outs in the last few games because I reached all the requirements
