From Ed Price:
The Yankees have picked up the $16 million option for 2008 on right fielder Bobby Abreu. A person informed of the decision, who asked not to be named since the Yankees had not yet made an announcement, confirmed the move today. (Ledger on the Yankees)This is a good move. If you asked me in May if I wanted Abreu's option picked up, I'd obviously say "no." However, he had a more "Abreu-like" second half and finished with respectable numbers (.283, 16 HR, 101 RBI). If he was consistent all year, he would've hit over .300.

Look at you with the hat backwards..homey. ;)
No need to CREATE holes to fill.
Healed from the ribcage injury, I believe Bobby will swing the bat in a more Abreu-esque manner in 2008. I AM concerned how he will fare without A-Rod hitting behind him, but we have a lot of hitting talent. I would not be surprised with .300, 100 RBI, 100 BB, 100 runs. Would LOVE to see 30 HR, but that may be days gone by. I say we'll be pleasantly surprised by Bobby.
