Buy into the Jose Abreu hype
It seems everyone under the sun can't stop raving about White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu, who has yet to even appear in a spring training game. Not only can Abreu hit for power, but he has the ability to hit to all fields.
Though, it was very intriguing to hear Cuban baseball expert and author Peter Bjarkman tell USA Today that "Abreu is a better hitter than either Yasiel Puig or Yoenis Cespedes." That's a pretty bold statement.
While time will only tell if Abreu lives up to the hype, Fantasy owners shouldn't be hesitant to use a mid-round flier on the 6-3, 255-pound slugger. It's probably a little bold to go into Draft Day thinking Abreu will be your starting first baseman. However, if you miss on the elite options and end up with an Anthony Rizzo, Mark Trumbo or Allen Craig-tier first baseman, then Abreu could be a nice complement to your first-base rotation.
