Which Corey Patterson...

[stomperrob]

...do we see this year??? The 2004 version with 24 HR's and 32 SB's, or the 2005 one who was a total dud? Is he gonna lose his job this year to Jacque Jones?

rob, he's playing in Baltimore this year.

As for which Patterson we'll see, most people assume the 2005 version was the real Corey Patterson. I truly don't know enough about him to make a judgement, but I would say he's worth a late round pick just in case.

If he straightens out a little bit and hits down the lineup, I think you will see numbers between 2004 and 2005. Split it and that is a reasonable expectation.

Oops, my bad - looks like I'd better start spending more time here - been busy with fantasy hockey and basketball!

.230, 20 HR, 20 SB I'd guess....

[J.C.Fighter]

@ .230 avg

[RugbyD]

8-o @ .230 avg

yeah, i thought it was a high number too!!

actually it perfectly relaistic given that he has shown near zero maturity at the plate after 7 years of professional experience.

[Broncmet724]

Yeah, I was thinking .220 with about a .250OBP

[LiveForever]

I drop out when he reaches 1 dollar at my auction...

50-13-41-16-244 Ill give him a little in the ave department simply because its hard to hit below 240 in two consecutive years.

Nah Corey should be good for at least .255 BA and .300 OBP, less than 20 HR, more than 20 SB.
