i would like to go on record to say i'm very, very glad we didn't match this offer. thanks for your consideration!
I read somewhere that we offered him 7 mil.. plus bought his contract out for 700k.. we we lost him over 1.3 mil?
Great player but this is just too much money. I am also glad we did not offer him this kind of money. Ohh well Kent... go for the green... err... ring..
Patterson is not a bad ball player. The idiots in Wrigley booed him last year after he struckout and the guy was batting .280 at the time. Sure he strikes out alot but he can steal bases and has good power for a leadoff guy.
I love Kent and what he brought, but that is a hell of a lot of money for an older, not as mobile 2nd baseman...I would kill for the Soriano deal to come through...
