Octavio Dotel Set to Sign With Blue Jays
December 26, 2010Blue Jays Sign Corey Patterson
December 21, 2010| Multiple sources are reporting Corey Patterson has signed with the Blue Jays. Terms of the deal have not been announced.
Patterson spent the 2010 season in Baltimore stealing 21 bases but logging a .315 OBP in 340 plate appearances. He has not been a full time player since the 2007 season. If he earns significant playing time he could steal 25-30 bases. Patterson has never lived up to the 5 tool hype he had when he came up with the Cubs in 2000. It is amazing that he has stuck around the league so long with a career .292 OBP. |

Rumor is several several teams have expressed interest including the Blue jays, Nationals and Rangers. Supposedly the starting price will be two top of the line prospects. This story will probably grab more headlines once Cliff Lee signs. Rumor is the Royals and Blue Jays were close to a deal at the winter meetings but the refusal of the Blue Jays to include Kyle Drabek ended talks. Stay tuned.
