Abreu was really good in his prime, although he was overrated defensively and played in that bandbox in the NL where Ibanez is hitting 90 HRs this season.
Even so, he would have been a huge upgrade over Griffey this year. I really think the DH position was the big mistake in '09, and not pursuing Swisher for LF when he was available for cheap. How much better does our lineup look with a guy like Dunn plugged in there at DH, with Swisher as a LF? The playoff race would probably look a lot different right now..
In '10 I think you'll see a guy like Thome, Delgado, or Abreu brought over for DH. I prefer a guy with LH HR power like Thome personally, even with the age.
