You go after a Patterson-type player when you're a few years from competing and can take a chance on him realizing his potential. He's been bad for way too long for us to roll the dice on him. 97: Patterson's got a big defensive edge on Guzman, but at least Freddie knew what the heck the strike zone was.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-93066">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> 95: Agree.

97: Patterson’s got a big defensive edge on Guzman, but at least Freddie knew what the heck the strike zone was.

On a related note, I was told an Atlanta area paper (AJC?) said the Braves plan on using Jeff Francouer in CF (where he played in the minors) so while we've seen lots of discussion about Cameron going to Atlanta, chances are Atlanta doesn't intend to spend additional money on their OF.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-93008">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> The Phillies are not re-signing Rowand.

The cool thing is, we're not in a situation where if our one starting pitching prospect (i.e. Jared Wells) doesn't pan out, we're SOL... There's enough depth there that there's a decent chance we have at least one above average pitcher to add to Peavy, Young, and co...<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-93006">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> TW, I’d pretty much agree w/ those percentages… The cool thing is, we’re not in a situation where if our one starting pitching prospect (i.e. Jared Wells) doesn’t pan out, we’re SOL… There’s enough depth there that there’s a decent chance we have at least one above average pitcher to add to Peavy, Young, and co…

How about bringing back Shane Victorino? While the Philly fans seem to love him, they have Michael Bourne who they may want to give a shot as well. I don't know if I would deal Chase Headley for him, but the Phillies do have a need for a third basemen. Perhaps there is a better combination of players that can make this happen. And if the Phils save money at 3B, they can still try and re-sign Rowand to play CF.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-92998">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Here’s an idea for CF.
