Off Day Fun: Two weeks later
With the Cubs enjoying an Off Day before "welcoming" Dusty Baker and Corey Patterson back to the Chi (that's Kayne West talk) on Tuesday night, I thought now might be a good time to reflect on the young 2008 Cubs' season.
Sure, it's only been two weeks, but we've g...
Orioles Could Re-Sign Corey Patterson
It seemed the Orioles had no interest in retaining Scott Boras client Corey Patterson. However, Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun reports that the Orioles have renewed their interest in the 28 year-old center fielder.
My guess is that the Orioles backed off when Boras told them his initial...
Baltimore Orioles Get Outfielder for Straight Cash, Homey
I like the move and hate it at the same time, because while the Orioles did need a player with speed to replace what they will lose with Corey Patterson filing for free agency and Brian Roberts getting off the juice, Roberson didn't show much in his tenure with the Phillies.

- Looking at Corey Patterson's early season success. Somewhat interestingly the other former Cub outfielder acquired by the Reds, Jerry Hairston Jr. is ...
Felix Pie getting the start in center today
The Cubbies called up Felix Pie to replace Alfonso Soriano in the lineup. He's going to be a good one, although I'm surprised, even despite an injury, that he's up this early.

Corey Patterson
Tonight, the Reds signed 28 year old LHB outfielder Corey Patterson to a minor league deal and invited him to compete for a job on the ballclub. The move is something of a surprise, given the already-thick competition for the center field job between Ryan Freel, Norris Hopper, and Jay Bruce. Nevert...
Orioles Acquire Roberson
Today, the Orioles acquired speedy outfielder Chris Roberson from the Phillies in exchange for cash consideration. Roberson will probably compete for the everyday job in center, along with Payton and Redman. This trade also indicates that Corey Patterson will not be returning to Baltimore. In seven ...
Opening Day Roster Finalized
Now that Jerry Hairston, Jim Brower, and Jolbert Cabrera have been reassigned to minor league camp, the Reds have trimmed their roster down to 28. According to John Fay, Matt Belisle will start the season on rehab and David Ross will begin the season on the disabled list. Since Mike Stanton is due ...
