DateQuestionAnswer
2020-11-13 12:00:00 (link to chat)Of the Michael King, Clarke Schmidt, Nick Nelson, Miguel Yajure, and Albert Abreu, which do you think are most likely to end up as a starter or have an impact in 2021?
(ari blum from New York )		King is the most likely starter, but would have less of an impact as a starter than Schmidt, but I'm less convinced Schmidt is a starter. If that all makes sense. Nelson is more of a fun utility arm and I suspect Yajure and Abreu both end up relievers. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2020-04-17 13:00:00 (link to chat)Jesse, appreciate you continuing the chats. 12-Team Roto Dynasty Startup (OBP) evaluating the back end of my minor league roster so I know who to cut when (if) prospects pop up. How would you rank the following given the shallow format: Ronaldo Hernandez (TB), Kyren Paris (LAA), Albert Abreu (NYY), Bubba Thompson (TEX), Bobby Bradley (CLE). Anything to get excited about here?
(MK from Houston)		My pleasure!

All of those guys are expendable in a 12-team OBP league. Honestly, if you can hit waivers now to replace any of them, I'd consider it. Check out our Top-350 Dynasty League prospects for inspiration: https://www.baseballprospectus.com/fantasy/article/57806/top-350-dynasty-prospects-march-2020/

Since this was basically a non-answer, if I had to rank them:

(1) Bobby Bradley
(2) Bubba Thompson
(3) Albert Abreu
(4) Ronaldo Hernandez
(5) Kyren Paris (Jesse Roche)
2019-11-08 13:00:00 (link to chat)Thanks for chatting! Love list season. I'm wondering about Albert Abreu. I can't quit on his stuff. And I remember scouts pointing out that Betances would never have enough control of his body to repeat his delivery and gain command. So nothing is impossible. But are there any signs Abreu can turn it around?
(Pete from NJ)		Abreu's issues aren't entirely mechanical. There is some weird timing shit (directly from my notes) but he repeats well enough despite minimal lower half engagement. He does tend to lose the zone as he gets tired and that runs along with more general durability/stamina issues that might ticket him for the pen anyway. There's enough feel for the three pitches though that I would give him at least another year to try and put together a healthy season starting. Yankees might have a need for him in the pen at some point next year though. (New York Yankees Top 10 Chat)
2019-11-08 13:00:00 (link to chat)Hi Jarrett, Great list! My question is on Albert Abreu. What put him ahead of Medina and Gil? His health issues had me thinking he'd be lower, but he obviously had good stuff and is at a higher level. Anything beyond that?
(Steven from New York, NY)		Hi Steven, it's actually Jeffrey again. I don't have super strong feelings on the order of 3-5, although I'm most confident on Medina over Gil I think. I'm guessing it's a range of 25 spots or so on the backend of a 101. Abreu's proximity to the majors and present stuff was the difference for me, although you could certainly argue Gil and Medina have more upside. Again like with the Frazier discussion, it's an issue of whose warts we have and haven't seen, although both Gil and Medina have command issues to iron out. (New York Yankees Top 10 Chat)
2019-09-20 11:00:00 (link to chat)Hey Jeffrey! What do you make of Lucas Sims and Tyler Mahle? Sims's 33% K rate jumps out at me, and I like Mahle's 18% K-BB. But the results just haven't shown. In a dynasty, would you ditch either/both of them for a risky pitching prospect, like Albert Abreu or Trevor Rogers?
(Jake from Rhode Island)		So the problem for both has always been dingers, and 2019 baseballs have been particularly unkind. I'd be more inclined to hold on Mahle (1) because I have always liked him and (2) he's by far the more likely starter. If I were to dump one of them I miiiiiiiiight due it for Abreu but not for Rogers. I'd want a bit safer arm before I felt great about pulling the trigger. Either of those might just get you this version of Sims or Mahle in three years. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2019-08-30 16:00:00 (link to chat)How would you rank these pitching prospects in a dynasty league: Albert Abreu, Trevor Rogers, Patrick Weigel, Joey Wentz? I'm having trouble weighing reliever risk against upside.
(Pete from Rhode Island)		Ah, a prospect question! Keeping in mind that I'm Not a Prospect Guy, I would say that Abreu excites me the most out of this quartet, but I would be shocked if he doesn't end up in the pen. Rogers and Wentz could be decentish, while Weigel is already pitching out of the pen in AAA. (Jon Hegglund)
2019-07-09 12:00:00 (link to chat)It seems like Wheeler should be in high demand at the deadline..what kind of prospect do you think they could get for him? I've seen people speculate a prospect in the top 125-175 range. Could they get Albert Abreu from NYY or Koby Allard from ATL?
(Randy from Queens)		150ish guy feels a smidge high to me for a number three starter rental nowadays, but Franklyn Kilome got dealt for eight weeks of Asdrubal Cabrera so it just takes the right combo of team and prospect I suppose. Abreu feels like way too much to me. Allard actually isn't an awful shout, as the Braves don't have a spot for him, and the stuff is down, but the Mets can sell him as a major-league-ready former Top 50 prospect. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2019-05-20 12:00:00 (link to chat)Any notable prospects on Trenton Yankees AA team, may go see them this weekend.
(Mike from NY)		Arms are interesting. I missed Deivi by a day, but reports have been good. (Somehow I also missed Kay, Harol, and Peterson in a four game set, figure that one out). Albert Abreu looks like a Top 101 guy again. Rony Garcia and Whitlock are major league caliber arms, albeit probably pen guys in the end. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2017-11-03 13:00:00 (link to chat)Has anyone done anything in the AFL to change their outlook a decent amount? I know many preach that they don't give much weight to AFL performance...and then those same people rank Gleyber Torres #1 after what he did in 2016.
(Marvin from FLA)		I don't really put much stock in Fall Ball past seeing if guys are healthy (Albert Abreu for example). Wide variety of competition level, pitchers are gassed, run environment akin to the surface of the moon. If you need the league to tell you Ronald Acuna, Estevan Florial, and Justus Sheffield are really good prospects, I wonder what you were doing all Summer (and in some cases, in 2016). (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2017-04-28 13:30:00 (link to chat)Is Albert Abreu overshadowed in a good Yankees farm system, or do we need to see more before he gets more love?
(Ryan from Montreal)		I'm a big fan of Abreu and was at the time of the trade. He should be on more people's radar. The bump up to High-A Tampa was deserved. (Craig Goldstein)
2016-11-22 20:00:00 (link to chat)What are your thoughts on Aneury Tavares. Any chance he gets taken in the Rule 5 draft and has a shot to stick? Do you think you'll get to see Brendan Rodgers in AA next season? Who are you most looking forward to seeing in the league?
(AJ from Ottawa)		I think I saw him approximately four or five times this year and I still had to just look it up to make sure I was thinking of the right short dude with the odd-looking swing. That probably says it all, honestly. I don't expect him to taken, but stranger things have happened.

I sure hope Rodgers makes Double-A, but I mean, my home park of Trenton alone rates to have Gleyber Torres, James Kaprelian, Jorge Mateo, and perhaps Albert Abreu. The EL is gonna be loaded next year. (Jarrett Seidler)
2016-05-26 19:00:00 (link to chat)Are there any low minors players out there other than the obvious top-100 ones that have the chance to be fantasy #1's? Acevedo? Alcantara? Albert Abreu, Francisco Rios? Hunter Wood? Roniel Raudes? Or are they too rare to assume any of those guys have the ability?
(Eric from Silverlake)		There's too much variability among these guys (and others) to comment. These players tend to come out of nowhere and surprise even the sharpest knives in the prospect analysis drawer...and I certainly don't fit this category. (Mike Gianella)
