Name Yer Cub, Episode 4

[Brock Beauchamp]

[Jason Ross]

Now that is Corey Patterson.

[We Got The Whole 9]

I know exactly who that is. What a shame.

[NorthsideAvenger]

I am going to keep my wrong answer streak alive by saying it is Jacques Jones.

No doubt it is Corey.

still love corey patterson. I was digging around in some boxes last christmas looking for horsefeathers in the garage and found a bunch of stuff i bought off ebay in the early 2000s, including some patterson rookie cards I thought were going to fund my kids college one day. Awesome player. Love that we're running it back in 2025 with PCA

There's part of me that still wonders what would have happened if CPatt never tore his ACL in 2003, right when it seemed like he was putting it together.  It probably would have meant no Lofton/Ramirez trade, but still, if Corey had followed PCA's second half 2024 trajectory, it makes you wonder what could have been.

[Derwood]

We had him in an online sim-league at the time and he turned into Griffey Jr. (Jr.)

Same here. When Corey did not pan out, I was then on the Felix Pie (which I assume will be a future 'Name yer Cub') bandwagon. Whoops.

That was like an almost instant "that has to be Corey Patterson" reaction from me.

There was this annoying thing with Dusy the last few years where fans refused to acknowledge that he learned and grew from his Giants/Cubs era.  He was no longer that guy with the Nats and Astros, and the reactionary response morphed into "actually he was never really *that* bad compared to his peers."  No no, he absolutely was, and Cubs fans (and Reds fans) have numerous receipts.

That's all a long winded way of saying I think CPatt ends up a star if he's 10 years younger.  Between having actual numbers around defense and the flyball revolution he would have been more properly valued in the '10s and gotten way more runway.

Patterson and PCA have a lot of similarities in their profiles, let's hope PCA can figure out a way to keep his hitting value (wRC+) at least near average.  I think in the box PCA is a below-average hitter but has wheels, much like Patterson.

Personality-wise they seem night and day haha, maybe his enthusiasm will help PCA continually improve.

Corey Patterson is 45 now. 🥲

[Brock Beauchamp]

Indeed it is Patterson.
