'Ms Abreu agrees. "What we need is more resources - in terms of financial resources, the transference of technologies and building a national capacity to deal with the issues provoked by climate change," she said. Mozambique is going to the Copenhagen climate summit next month to lobby for these things - as part of a united African delegation determined to win compensation for the...

In her freshman year of high school, Maria Abreu asked if women were allowed to serve on submarines. "Sorry, kid, no," was the response from the Navy chief who was visiting her Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps unit at New London High School. "My heart just, like, sunk," Abreu, 17, said. Now a junior, Abreu was ecstatic to learn that military leaders...

... is a point well taken and applies here, since Ellsbury's name is longer than names like Hunter of Abreu. Still, I'm hoping that there's insight revealed from this visual that might not be so easy to spot in looking at a list of numbers. Or, at least, more fun.

... if Cashman and company had anticipated the suddenly depressed market for corner outfielders. Bobby Abreu was forced into signing a one-year deal worth considerably less than what he would have gotten in arbitration. This off-season is different. Most notably, the free agent class is not as strong, lacking an elite ace and the depth of pitching and positional player choices of the 2009 class....

... to any of their free agents. This meant that they would not collect any draft picks when Bobby Abreu, a Type A free agent, signed with another team. From the Yankees perspective, however, it meant that they had no obligations to these players. Abreu and Pettitte both earned $16 million in 2008, and that would have essentially added $32 million to the 2009 payroll. They decided those...

... Yankees will be the only team willing to pay damon more than the two-year, $19 million deal Bobby Abreu got from the Angels last month… and so, eventually, they’ll figure out some sort of agreement… but, damon needs leverage… so, enter talk of a four-year deal with the Mets …

... writers, was ultimately a wise one, as most players, even those with plenty to offer — see, Bobby Abreu — struggled to find lucrative contracts on the open market. Had the Yankees made arbitration offers in the hopes that they would later receive compensatory picks upon their free agents signing elsewhere, perhaps those same free agents would have accepted and limited Brian Cashman’s ability...

... a one year contract in the neighborhood of $15 million. Boras said that Damon would use Bobby Abreu’s 2 year/$19 million contract as a guideline for Damon, and that seems fair to me. Paying Johnny Damon $15 for one season in this market seems like a giant overpay to me, and that’s why I don’t think the Yankees will offer him arbitration. The lure of an extra first round pick and a compensation...

... quite a few DHs on the market and not too many free DH slots, Matsui’s market could resemble Bobby Abreu’s from last year. So yes, Buster is right — and obviously so — that the Yankees want the right player at the right price. I’m just not sure that Matsui’s marketability will be “no factor” in the decision. It might not factor into whether or not he’s the right player, but if the Yankees...

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving. Between all of the black Friday festivities, here are some links for your enjoyment. The Braves have signed something called a “Juan Abreu”. He’s got a live arm but fringy control/command and the Royals wouldn’t carry him on their 40-man roster this winter. He’ll most likely report [...]
