If Pie is modestly successful, who's his MLB comparable?

[Bruno7481]

Corey Patterson (when he was good)

 

one half of 2003?

Modestly successful....

 

LH'ed version of Baldelli.

That seems about right. Let's hope he remains healthier than Rocco has been.

[Abe Frohman]

Corey Patterson (when he was good)

 

That's exactly what I was thinking:

 

*Very good defensive projection (Pie with the better throwing).

*Very good speed.

*Seems like he needs to refine his base-stealing.

*Left handed, long swing (unfortunate as a quicker, shorter swing would utilize his speed as he would hit more ground balls/line drives).

*Lots of hype.

The correct answer has played on the Cubs recently.

[snoodmonger]

Offensively, I could see him being a Jacque Jones type guy, but with more steals. Better defender, though.

 

I don't think that's his ceiling, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's where he ends up.

Carl Everett!

[BigSlick]

Juan Pierre

[hardcorecubfan]

Corey Patterson!!!! Oops you said succefull

[wolf stansson]

Juan Encarnacion with more speed.

He is the new Corey. I remember how many we had when corey was at AAA.

 

can any of the Mods combine these?

[minnesotacubsfan]

Carl Everett!

 

seriously?

 

my guess if it was someone who had played for the Cubs recently would be Cliff Floyd, which for several years would be nice

I don't know that Felix could lead the league in screaming line drive foul balls like Cliff though....

No, it needs more threads about Felix Pie and more pages dedicated to Brian Roberts, but all in the same thread.

And August 2004 Corey Patterson. I don't feel like looking up the exact numbers, but I remember he hit everything headed his direction.
