The Mike and Corey Show

Edgy MD Feb 06 2013 01:22 PM

Mets sign Mike Wilson and Corey Patterson, who's totally cuter than Cory Lidle and Cory Sullivan (the latter of whom I had totally forgotten existed until just this moment). http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013/02/m ... ilson.html

Corey Patterson was going to be great wasn't he?, or am I thinking about someone else?

Edgy MD Feb 06 2013 01:38 PM Re: The Mike and Corey Show

He and Hamilton were in the same class of uber-outfielders that you had better get the autographs of NOW!!! Back then. Contemporaries of Alex Escobar, for that matter.

I guess it's good to have them in the mix. Can't hurt, anyway. Maybe one of them will become an offensive version of R.A. Dickey. I doubt that this impacts whether or not they pursue Michael Bourn.

I have the sick feeling that Corey Patterson will actually spend time playing in the Met outfield this season and will engender the same feeling that we had when Jose Offerman or Gerald Williams were clogging up lineup space.

God, can't believe this was 2005 http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/NYM/2005.shtml seems a lifetime ago. The Dauber? DeJean aforementioned Ice?

Edgy MD Feb 06 2013 02:06 PM Re: The Mike and Corey Show

Despite what I wrote implied the other thread, Mike and Corey did not get camp invites with their contracts, and will head straight to minor league camp to work out with the Travis Taijerons and the ZeErika McQueens.

I believe they ultimately put Hamilton ahead of Patterson so as to not have a dead-tie, but they thought it was essentially even (even though the two did have different strengths and were hardly the same player). Then, for the longest time, it seemed like neither one of them was going to make it in MLB.

Ichiro counted as a prospect?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Feb 06 2013 03:19 PM Re: The Mike and Corey Show

No, Rogers, that was a 12-year-old joke snuck in there to see if anyone was paying attention.

Ichiro was unique to BA's prospect list and they weren't quite sure how to treat him but ultimately chose to do so as a prospect on account of him having never before played in MLB. To be consistent they've done the same with subsequent Japanese players who have come over since (Matusi x 2 for example) although not all raters do the same.

I see those failed prospects and am less concerned about losing a pick in signing Bourn. Felix Pie is the new Corey Patterson moving from prospect, to suspect, to permanently mediocre.
