I merely stated that excitement is not useless. That being said, I could have watched Abreu with a microscope and still found pretty much everything about him to be dull. Exciting is at one end of the spectrum - Bobby is at the other. [3] I didn’t say I wasn’t entertained by Abreu. I merely stated that excitement is not useless.

This is subjective of course. I find Alex Rodriguez exciting, but I know other people who find him dull as dirt. It's just taste, there's no accounting for it.

He and Swisher are among the best I've seen in the last decade at doing that. The constant battle is something I find very entertaining.

Definitely a hitter to be admired. Exciting is a useless trait in a ballplayer. Any team would be fortunate to have a Cadillac Abreu in their fleet.
