JDsDirtySox Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 09:17 AM) But he sucks in the field. Totally Agree. I wouldn't be surprised if we never saw Dubois in the Majors again. Sure the dude can occasionally hit a bomb, but he makes every play in left difficult.

chisoxfan79 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 The Cubs now have two Patterson's in the minors. I saw his brother play for the Peoria Chiefs last night and if I remember correctly he whiffed 3 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 QUOTE(Nokona @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 11:35 PM) This will not do anything for Patterson. The poor kid has less than an ounce of confidence in the first place, and now they're sending him to Iowa? He should just retire from the Cubs organization. I know he sucks but the talent is there no doubt. It's unfortunate that the next Griffey turned out to be the next Cade McNown. Wait, who am I kidding. Cuck the Fubs. Patterson has TONS of confidence, but it's misplaced confidence. He refuses to adjust to anything because he thinks his "5 tools" are enough to get him by. He lacks the brains to maximize his physical skills. His defense is over-rated, he has a pus arm and he refuses to work pitch counts to his advantage. He's too stubborn to listen to major-league coaches, so why should anyone think he'll listen to a coach in Iowa? This may turn out to be a very good move for the Cubs with the only drawback being that they lower Korey's trade value. Hairston might actually relax now that he'll have a set position, they got that DH/PH Dubois out of the picture ( he can't play the outfield to save his life ), and they get a chance to give a couple young guys a look.

santo=dorf Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 08:23 AM) Id he played consistently, he could easily hit .280 and hit 30+ homers. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought only Cubs fans made ridiculous claims like these. :headshake Just how "easy" do you think it is to hit 30 homers at the major league level? Dubois is just another Patterson. Look at the number of K's between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSGuy406 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Someone will grab him. .839 OPS in 2003, .771 OPS in 2004 -- can steal bases pretty well, 80% success rate over his career. Those OPS' are really good for such a good defensive CF'er, too. If the Sox weren't so stacked, I'd love to see them grab one of the two unhappy NL Central OFers, Patterson or Kearns. Not so much Patterson, moreso Kearns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
