Playing career: Winston Abreu signed with the Braves as a
17-year old in 1994, making his professional debut that year. He spent twelve
years in the minor leagues before finally making the major leagues in 2006 with
Baltimore. He also pitched for Washington in 2007 and Tampa Bay and Cleveland
in 2009. Overall in 38 major league games he went 0-1 with a 7.31 ERA.
Where he is now: In his 20th season in
professional baseball in 2015, he had an excellent year as the closer for the
independent league Joplin Blasters. In 47 games he went 5-1 with 23 saves and a
0.77 ERA, striking out 80 batters in just 47 innings.
My memories: Only know him from his card.
Google Autocomplete results: He is fourth when you type
Winston Ab, between Winston Abraham, a former Australian Rules footballer, and Winston
Abby’s, a pizza place in Oregon. There do not appear to be any other Winston
Abreus.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Cedric Allen.
