Hallelujah. I can't believe they didn't have to pay some team to take him off of their hands.

Alright, I don't get it? I thought Patterson would be back this year. I guess you can't have a bad year anymore. Sure he strikes out too much, but he's 26 talented and just coming into his prime. Why do you trade him for a song?

Remember, kids, Hendrynomics says always buy high, sell low.

He play excellent defense at one of the most important positions.

last year his defense sucked too. He play CF well in the previous years though, but he also hit better in previous years. last year he pretty much sucked in every aspect of the game.

Personally I think he might be ok in bmore, but he was never going to make it as a cub. too much pressure to be the star of the team. would have been nice if they got something for him, since neither of those prospects look all that great.

WTF is wrong with Baltimore? Did they not learn their lesson from the Sosa debacle?

They seem to be our new Pirates.
