Well, figured as much... former Oriole Corey Patterson signed with the Blue Jays today. I really liked him as their 4th outfielder, as he could play all 3 spots pretty well, and brought some much-needed speed to the lineup. You could play him every day for a week or two, and he wouldn't hurt you.
A little strange that he only signed a minor-league deal... I thought he provided enough speed, pop, and defensive flexibility to make up for his offensive shortcomings (career .253/.292/.404 slash-line), at least for a team that didn't need him to start.
