Nats get a nice consolation prize after missing out on Tex

The Denver Post reports that the Nationals have signed Corey Patterson and Jorge Sosa to minor league deals.

 

Who didn't see that one coming? The Nats have been sniffing around for a center fielder with the idea of moving Lastings Milledge to a corner, but it'd hardly make sense to play Patterson over Josh Willingham, Austin Kearns or Elijah Dukes. The Nats also have Wily Mo Pena and Willie Harris for the outfield, and since Jim Bowden is still running the show, they might not be through yet.
