Corey Patterson Released

[Tarver]

Nationals released outfielder Corey Patterson.

 

Patterson was 2-for-15 with six strikeouts in an earlier stint with the Nationals this season. He hit .274/.318/.422 in 283 plate appearances for Triple-A Syracuse. Patterson will likely latch on with another organization's Triple-A affiliate.

 

Be interesting to see where he ends up. Even considering his absolutely abysmal AAA numbers this season, he could make sense for a contender as strictly a defensive replacement/pinch runner type. He should never again be allowed to swing a bat in the major leagues, however.

So when will you, eh...I mean Cubs'n'clippers be here to defend his tools?

[Geech]

What a great time to buy low.

Potential - He's just waiting for the right time to bust out

Attitude - What a great clubhouse influence

Tools - More tools than Marrioti family reunion

Teamwork - Always going the extra mile for his teammates

E - Won't see any of these with him in Center field

Return - We'd all love to see his triumphant return to the top of our lineup

Speed - it'll never slump, especially if its never on base

Orangutan - I dunno, I couldn't really think of one for O

Northside - its where Corey belongs

Offense - It's the part of his game that should be well rested since he hasn't used it the past few years

O - Outfielder. Left and right fielders optional with his defensive skillz.

You know he is a "five tool guy" :lol:

 

Guess that means wrench, hammer, screw driver, bar clamp and a miter saw

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I want him on my slow pitch team. He'd easily be one of our best 4 or 5 players

According to rotoworld, he signed a minor league deal with the Brewers.

I suppose he cant pitch any worse than most of their staff.

Obligatory "how many game-winners will he hit against the Cubs?" post.

[chuckywang]

Does Ken Macha have a daughter he's trying to set up or something?

Yeah, he'll terrorize those Iowa Cubs.

Well the Brewers current RF is Bill Hall, so maybe Corey will get a chance to destroy a 3rd NL Central team.

[ELCABALLO45]

AAAAAANNNNNNNND Patterson will be joining the Brewers tonight.

[SouthSideRyan]

Still rooting for him.

[Tarver]

Still rooting for him.

 

To do what?

[SouthSideRyan]

Well?

[Little Slide Rooter]

I have nothing against C Patt. Im glad that Latroy finally overcame Dusty almost derailing his career, and I hop C Patt can succeed. If nothing else, theres always the Newark Bears.

[Tarver]

Well?

 

I thought he was already planning his retirement. Read somewhere he's starting a dairy farm in Georgia, so he must still have most of his money.
