We can make this election better than that one in 2020.

Add: Playing time should be reduced but not eliminated.
If struggles past the AS break with no improvement in sight, then discuss harsher scenarios.

He is paid to much to sit. If anything, drop him to the 8 or 9 spot in the order.

He is owed too much to DFA and seeing as how much he is being paid I have been arguing he needs to be put further down in the lineup. Problem with that is the Idiot Manager Dusty keeps putting Maldonado in the lineup and now you would have two auto-outs together.

He's on pace for 7 HR and 71 RBI.... He's been so horrific that's almost encouraging. I mean if I had had to guess off the top of my head, I would have said like 40 RBI.

Abreu's wRC+ was 55 in May and 89 so far in June. He needed only be shamed he was hitting worse than Maldonado to get his act together

I still think Abreu was trying too hard to hit homers. Not sure if anyone noticed all his HRs were line drives last season, and he looked like he was reaching for a swing from back when they used to soar a bit more

If you bat .300 with little power, you’re considered a failure.

He needed only be shamed he was hitting worse than Maldonado to get his act together There’s the Mendoza Line, and then there is the Maldonado Line May 2023: Hey Abreu, you’re hitting below the Maldonado Line Que? That’s right, you hitting like a b*tch

So he's up to a .289 AVG with a .779 OPS in June. He still has a long ways to go to get his yearly numbers up, but we're seeing steady progress now. His RISP numbers are solid too. Not great, but solid.
