Patterson Joins the List of Outfielders the Yanks are Looking at

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 08:52:00 -0500

From Joel Sherman:Corey Patterson was recently put on outright waivers by the Nationals and the Yankees are considering signing him to fill in as the backup center fielder until Brett Gardner recuperates from his hand injury, the Post has learned. The third overall pick in the 1998 draft, Patterson never developed the plate discipline necessary to capitalize on his elite speed and power potential. He hit just .133 in five games earlier this season with the Nationals.... The Yanks would view...

Go Rich Hill?

Tue, 03 Mar 2009 18:19:30 -0500

Posted by Lionel on March 3, 2009. Normally, when a former Cubs top-prospect-turned-bust moves on (which seems to happen a lot), I hope he sucks with his new team (usually the Orioles) as much as he did with the Cubs. I imagine most Cubs fans agree with that logic. But the Rich Hill situation is different. Ok, not that different, because he's with O's, but different because his performance still effects the Cubs. As I'm sure most people remember, Hill was traded for the famous PT...

Atlanta Braves looking at Patterson or Kotsay?

Thu, 10 Jan 2008 12:25:14 -0500

With the AJC reporting that Corey Patterson and Mark Kotsay may not be off the radar to fill the Braves center field slot, this article looks at whether or not the Braves need to spend their extra cash going after a mediocre center fielder, or whether they should spend the money elsewhere.

Baltimore Orioles Get Outfielder for Straight Cash, Homey

Thu, 03 Jan 2008 20:50:03 -0500

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.

Scouting Report on Josh Vitters

Mon, 03 Sep 2007 18:41:17 -0500

6??3 200 lbs R/R Cypress High School, CA With the third pick overall this year, the Cubs took the best high school bat and arguable the best bat overall in Josh Vitters. This 18 year old Californian had many Cub fans wondering if he would sign or not, as he waited til 20 minutes before the deadline to ink his deal. But really he was never really a threat not to sign despite his commitment to Arizona State University. The reason his signing took so long was due to his adviser (Casey Close) waiting for the second pick, Mike Moustakas, to sign with Kansas City especially in the last hour when it was apparent that Moustakas and Boras would sign. We?fll delve further into the prospect that is Josh Vitters.

Felix Pie vs Corey Patterson

Wed, 14 Feb 2007 21:24:53 -0500

Otherwise known as the Cubs center fielder of the future vs the X-Cubs center fielder of the future. This is a very bitter take on the defensive differences between the two and how Cubbie fans everywhere will know whether Pie is the real deal or not. I think the Cubs organization learned a good deal after Patterson failed in a Chicago uniform. I'd expect Pie to be much more polished than Corey was before he gets a full-time gig, probably in 2008. The arguments against Patterson in thi...
