New York Yankees Prospects: Albert Abreu

One of the top New York Yankees pitching prospects has seen his stock drop since last year. Before last season began, many thought that Albert Abreu would be one of the Yankees prospects that would be pushing his way towards the majors. When Abreu is on and healthy, he possesses three above-average pitches that would all play well at the Major League level. He has a fastball that can top out in the triple digits, he has a knee-buckling curveball, and he possesses a change-up that really keeps batters off balance. There’s a reason that the Yankees were really excited when they acquired Abreu from Houston in the Brian McCann trade.
