John Patterson

[AT]

If you kept the faith and stuck by Patterson, Point and Laugh at everyone who gave up on him and dropped him when he went to the DL.



Since coming off the DL...

11IP 8 Hits 4 Walks 10 K 0 HR and 2 ER/R

2 Starts were against Atlanta and Florida.

He looks healthy and has good stuff. I'm riding this horse until its ready to go to the glue factory.

i hung on to him as well. didnt start him yesterday because i didnt need to but it was great to see him pitch well. hopefully it keeps up .

One of the walks yesterday was intentional as well. I can't find a box score or game log that will note if he had any IBB in the Atlanta game. He did have one wild pitch vs. Atlanta and one HBP vs. Florida. Overall I think he's over his back problems and safe to start.

I was one of the guys who dropped him, but nobody picked him up, so I'm still deciding. Seems like he's back to form though, I'll probably give him one more start to see where he's at.

I dropped him, too. It was between him and Brett Myers.

Noone has picked him up yet, so I still might take him back.

MIGHT??

MIGHT??

I am going with this rotation, 14-team weekly league:

Santana
Clemens
Sheets
Myers


I can have up to 5 SPs active, but I'm going with 3 relievers.

I don't see a big sifference between Patterson and Myers. If I pick him up, he'd play against weak teams and when he gets 2 starts. I hate doing that, though, because I always tend to bench the wrong guy. Call me Murphy.

Would you have Patterson as your #4 over Myers?

[tiger spit]

na, not at this point. didnt know your limitations. i picked them both up in all leagues off the WW. myers has an edge on him right now but theyre definatly
the big surprise/breakthrough SPs of 05'.
