Stonewalling

Is it just me, or is Steve Stone becoming more and more obvious that he doesn't think Kor-E8 is gonna make it as a major league hitter? Stone seems to be getting more and more succinct in his criticism of Patterson's approach to hitting and commenting on Patterson's mile high strike zone.

With Stone's open dismay, I'm starting to think that the rest of the world is catching up to the way this page has thought of Patterson since he was first seen as a late season call-up. And if that's true, the trading for Beltran, or any other center fielder, just became massively more difficult.

If everyone starts to think Korey sucks, no one will want him in a trade. And that means more than one top pitching prospect must be included in any trade.

And that means, "you don't get no Coke."

No word if McPhail's been losing at the track.
