If Bobby had been playing today he’d get so much more recognition than he got when he played, and he’d be a for sure hall of famer

[@himduncan4106]

My first favorite player growing up as a Phillies fan. He holds a special place for the kid in me. Then to Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins

[@1978736]

Hall of famer in my opinion

[@vincentlospinuso7232]

Definitely

[@rafa19rod]

Bobby Abreu wasn't the super popular guy in the field, but he did the job constantly. In my opinion, Abreu has the numbers to be a HOF. His WAR 60.2 looks pretty good! (Considering that the HOF WAR normally is between 50-70) I think the sabermetricians would agree.
