Corey Patterson may be the worst player in the Major Leagues. Last night the announcers actually debated whether he was capable of getting a hit in any other way besides bunting. Despite being of no value beyond a late inning defensive replacement, Patterson (who can’t even pinch run effectively because he’s been caught stealing 33% of the time) LED OFF for the Reds. Wait…
He led off?
After last night’s 0-4, HIS ON BASE % IS .216. For the more conventionally minded…HE IS HITTING .183 AND IT’S JULY. If ever in the history of the world there was a player who should hit 9th, it is Corey Patterson. Arroyo was the pitcher last night. He had two hits in his last game. Patterson hasn’t had 2 hits in a game since May and did only five times this year.
