[FOX 26] ASTROS REMAIN INTERESTED IN PATTERSON

Ed Wade, Houston Astros General Manager, told FOX 26 Sports on Saturday that former Washington Nationals pitcher John Patterson has cleared waivers and is a free agent. Wade said the Astros have made contact with Patterson's agent, Houston-based Alan Hendricks, about potentially signing him.

i like the idea of signing Patterson, he could make a decent number 4 starter in the rotation. even though he sucked with the nationals last season

i dont think he is better than woody, but he would make a decent 4 starter on our team.

If he's not better than Woody, who is at BEST a mediocre 5th starter, how can he possibly be good enough to even crack the rotation?

i should rephrase that, when healthy, patterson has the stuff to be an ace.

btw, he signed a minor league deal with the rangers
