I have one card of Jose Abreu, from 2015 Topps Heritage.
Playing career: Outfielder Jose Abreu was a high-profile
Cuban defector who had a terrific first season with the White Sox, winning the
Rookie of the Year award as he hit .317 with 36 HR and 107 RBI, leading the
American League with a .581 slugging percentage and a 173 OPS+.
Where he is now: He avoided the sophomore jinx in 2015,
hitting .290 with 30 HR and 101 RBI.
My memories: I remember him being a highly touted
acquisition for the White Sox, but I hadn’t realized just how well he had lived
up to the hype. I guess that’s what happens for a star on a bad team.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Kevin Ahrens.
