Now if only the Nationals would be interested in taking Dusty off our hands.

 

Hoops, you heard anything? Just kidding.

Maybe trade C-Patt for Bill Bray (13th overall selection in last year's draft). Barely turned 22 last month; here are his stats. They seem to be trying to rush him this year, but he still looks to have good control and excellent k/bb ratio.

Trading Corey for even more pitching... as if we didn't have a lot of that running around.

Personally, I don't believe Cubs/Nats are a right trading partners for Corey.

 

WHY?

 

Because 1: Washington would first try to sell the Cubs on somebody like Marlon Byrd. Anybody who knows Byrd knows that he is then-Phillies version of Corey Patterson. Why even go into that. Or they would try and use Brendan Harris as bait, and the irony would be duely appreciated. 2: The Cubs would try and ask for Ryan Church, which they would politely decline, for obvious reason.

 

So if I am the Cubs, and the Nats are wanting Patterson, I would ask for Tyrell Godwin. Granted he isn't as toolsy as Patterson, but maybe as fast (even tho, the SB/CS is horrible) but he does have a 43-38(k:bb), which means he knows how to take a walk. Now Godwin is the same age as CPatt, but seeing as Godwin is more of a leadoff hitter then CPatt, he may be a better fit then CPatt. But again, that's me.
