The Bob Abreu Miracle

Can Bobby Abreu go from a 4 to a 1 in right field in one season? He earned a Gold Glove Wednesday and Strat traditionally awards a 1 to Gold Glovers, but having lugged a 4 around for so long, will the company be willing to make that leap?

Overall, the Clips led the way with three Gold Glove selections, while Margaritaville, Svannah and Bismarck had two each. Here's the complete list of Gold Glovers:

Pitchers: Kenny Rogers (FA), Greg Maddux (Detroit)
Catchers: Jason Varitek (Applegate), Mike Matheny (FA)
1B: Mark Teixeira (Margaritaville), Derrek Lee (Margaritaville)
2B: Orlando Hudson (Savannah), Luis Castillo (Tropical)
3B: Eric Chavez (Applegate), Mike Lowell (Savannah)
SS: Derek Jeter (Bismarck), Omar Vizquel (FA)
OF: Torii Hunter (Bismarck), Andruw Jones (Applegate)
OF: Vernon Wells (S Grand Prairie), Jim Edmonds (Littleton)
OF: Ichiro Suzuki (Hickory), Bobby Abreu (Bushwood)

I seriously doubt Abreu will get a 1 in RF. I am hoping for a 2 and expecting a 3 with a good arm.

For the record (if memory serves), Bobby has been a 4 if RF for two years, and was a 3 the year before that and a 2 before that.
