Nationals To Inquire About Patterson

The Washington Nationals are going to obviously talk with agent Scott Boras and his client Andruw Jones during December 1st's meetings. They also have made it clear that they would like to sign Corey Patterson to a deal if the price was right. Corey would likely platoon and hit only against right-handers, as lefties have gave him major problems throughout his career.

To me, current center-fielder Nook Logan is a better bet than Corey Patterson in center, but what the Nationals need to do is sign Andruw Jones to a 5-year deal and let him carry their offense into the new stadium.

Nationals Express Interest In Crisp

The Washington Post believes that Red Sox outfielder Coco Crisp, who became expendable with the arrival of rookie Jacoby Ellsbury, would be a great fit for the Nationals for 2008. Coco is signed to a very good contract, and would be a major upgrade over current CF/leadoff-hitter Nook Logan. Seems like the Nationals are going to sign a big free-agent as Andruw Jones, Tom Glavine, Aaron Rowand, Torii Hunter, and now Coco Crisp. You can also feel that one of those 5 will be Nationals, as a new stadium is set to open next year and they can generate quite a bit of revenue with either or.
