Scouting report
Maybe if Abreu could throw his secondary stuff for strikes and then run his fastball up the ladder to finish hitters, this could work. But he doesn't have good feel for locating those secondaries and tends to pepper the bottom and middle of the zone with his fastball, either by accident or because he's fallen behind and needs to get one over for a strike. At times, he has looked like he has three plus or better pitches, but his fastball just doesn't play like it's elite, even though his velocity sometimes has been, and the secondaries suffer because Abreu is often behind in the count and struggles to locate them. I think he'll be up and down while he's on the 40-man. (Alternate site, MLB)
