With a reported trade of Pierre going to the cubs for pitching prospects this makes Corey Patterson expendable. Should the Yankees look into acquiring him and for what cost?

Very very little interest and woudl give even less to get him. His offense is very weak, he sported a .254 OBP last year. I'd rather have Pie or Murton but I doubt their parting with them

This would be as big of a mistake as wasting a roster spot on Womack. The man does not know how to get on base and strikes out at an alarming rate. Mattingly isn't a mircale worker, otherwise Womack would have been more useful.
If this is what Cashman ends up with for CF, regardless of price, then he didn't do a good job.

If he comes cheap, sure why not. He's still got potential. Maybe he needs a change of scenery?

He would come cheap, for a good reason. Over a five year he sports a .293 OBP and K's 1/4th of the time.

About a 10 year difference between Womack and Patterson. At 25 yo, Patterson is worth a look if we procure some more offense to balance him out.

I don't mind having an offensive liability in CF but Patterson pushes that too far.

He's a DOG of the worst kind.

Bubba can't do any worse at the plate. The Yanks should wait if Cashman can't pull anything off. A Cameron could become available during the year.
Unless he's super duper uber good with the glove I say no.

Maybe a step above Bubba? Not distinct enough to have him as your everyday CF. He's a heck of a lot worse than Bubba at the plate. I've sorta followed his career through a good friend who now lives in Chi.

He's slightly better than Bubba with the glove, and hes like two levels below Bubba at the plate. If we have him as our starting CF then we should keep whatever we traded and use Bubba

Bingo!!!
That's hiting the nail on the head.
Pass on Patterson.

I have absolutely no interest in Patterson whatsoever. I'd rather put Bubba out there and wait for something better to turn up.
He could fill in as our leadoff hitter. We haven't had a true leadoff hitter since Knoblauch left. Plus he's young and fast, something we need. Oh and did I mention he can play small ball?
Look we're all sad that we couldn't get Pierre but Patterson is the next best thing. He reminds me a lot of the players from the dynasty teams. Go get him Cashman!

As soon as I read the thread title, I could tell it was going to get ugly in here...
I was all for Patterson, because I do think he has/had the potential to be good. It seemed at one point that he needed a change of scenery.
However, reading the stats and looking at them myself has changed my mind. Unless he comes free.

just say no to an offensive gimp that has an average outfield glove.

Why? So Joe can bat him leadoff and then when the offense strugles he moves him aaaaaaaaall the way down to the two slot?

We have our very own Corey Patterson, and his name is Bubba Crosby. No need to waste tim going after Corey

I'm sure Joe knows he belongs in the #9 hole.
I would be into having Patterson if we got Nomar or some one of his ilk to provide some extra pop in the lineup.

Whats the point of getting Patterson then? He's not any better than Bubba.

For what it's worth: I was sitting next to a diehard Cubs fan from Chicago who traveled to the Stadium for a Yanks-Cubs game last summer. I don't really follow the Cubs, but this guy seemed to know his stuff. Anyway, I asked if Patterson was a good fielder and the guy almost had a coronary. Said Patterson was terrible. Coupled with these putrid offensive numbers everyone else is listing here, he doesn't sound like a good fit for the Yanks -- or any other team, for that matter.

Yet he put Womack in the one or two slot quite a few times.

Nomar is an injury prone player who's no where near the hitter he once was, you don't trade for Patterson while depending on Nomar to provide pop in the lineup. Besides even if we got Albert Pujols right now the ninth hitter will still kill a sh*t load of rallies. Remember how well Enrique Wilson at second was?

He is 25 and was probably rushed to the Majors. Bubba is damn near 30 and really isn't all that good. Patterson had some reasonably productive years in the majors. Bubba has had no productive years in the majors. A lot was expected out of Patterson by the Cubs who foolishly placed him at the top of the batting order where he could only fail by trying to do too much. The Yankees would bat him 9th and expect him to catch the ball. As his comfort level increased, he would imo, become quite a sleeper in the bottom of the Yankee batting order capable of hitting 20-25 homers per season.

I know that. I was just answering the question. If all the Cubs wanted was Proctor, then yes, I'd do it.
Obviously he'd cost more than that, which he shouldnt.

Go with Bubba. Bring Bernie back to spell him (as I said on another thread, rest Bubba against the tough lefties like Santana.) Wait to see what teams fall out of the race and grab the next CF at the deadline.
