Abreu's Value Shines, Rankings Lag

0:00On March 29th, Red Sox fans have been knowing Willier Abrayu is a steal since that trade back in 2022 for Christian Vazquez, but national media, still sleeping on the 26-year-old Wright Fielder. Last year, he cranked out a career-high 22 home runs and 69 RBI's, bringing real pop to the lineup. Defensively, he's elite 2, racking up over 10 outs above average, both in 2024 and 2025, with a 3.1 war last. Year in 2.4, the year before, yet when MLB dropped their top 10 Wright Fielder's list, Abrayu barely sneaked in, overlooked again. Boston supporters see his full value every day, while the big outlets lag behind. This guy is a world-based ball-classic champ, proving his worth on the field without needing the hype. New season kicked off choir for him, with just a single on opening day against the Reds, but game 2, he stepped off huge. That ninth inning solo homer, forced extras, turning the tide even if the socks couldn't pull it out in the 11th.
