Yankees Eyeing Corey Patterson

[Old Style]

My question is: For what?

 

We already knew of the Yankees' interest in recently-designated outfielder Josh Anderson; Joel Sherman of the New York Post says to add the newly-released Corey Patterson to the list. Sherman says the goal is to find a fill-in for Brett Gardner, who broke his thumb on Saturday. Anderson and Patterson both have speed, at least.

That's racist, just because a black guy walks into your store doesn't mean...., oh wait like as in to play for them? That's just ridiculous.

A lot of discussion lately about former Cubs....Patterson, Pie (to the White Sox?), Nolasco, Cedeno, Downs (possible trade candidate), etc.

Does Joe Girardi need a new assistant to bring him coffee and make sure all his lineup cards are stocked?

Maybe Girardi is looking for someone to date his daughter.

According to a press release, the Royals acquired outfielder Josh Anderson from the Tigers for cash considerations. The speedster hit .242/.282/.315 with 13 steals in 15 tries for Detroit. The Royals say they'll make a corresponding roster move once they determine Anderson's reporting date.

 

The Yanks wanted him. Maybe they grab Patterson now.

this is trade deadline news?

When you consider how good the Yankees lineup already is and the fact that they get good offense from both SS and Catcher, maybe they can afford to put C-Pat out there to play defense and hit .200.

he'd be a league-minimum player with excellent defense in a lineup that doesn't really need anymore offensive firepower. if they're really in a pinch for a body to fill that position, i guess patterson isn't the worst option in the world.

Yeah. He'd only be needed for a couple weeks until Brett Gardner returns from the DL. I mean, they employed Cody Ransom at third while A-Rod was out. I don't think this would be a big deal to them.

MLB.com's Adam McCalvy tweets that the Brewers have signed outfielder Corey Patterson to a minor league deal, assigning him to Triple-A Nashville. The 29-yr old Patterson hit .133-.133-.133 in 15 plate appearances with the Nationals earlier in the year, but spent most of the season in Triple-A. Washington released him last week.

I would LOVE to see him playing in the bigs for Milwaukee.
