Troy Patterson's Articles

2009

Clone Wars: Jonathan Sanchez and Clayton Kershaw

November 16, 2009
Whenever one of these two lefties pitch there is almost always someone on base.

Clone Wars: Ryan Zimmerman and Evan Longoria

November 09, 2009
These pair of third basemen are both coming off all-star seasons, and at 24 and 25 there is definitely more to come.

Clone Wars: Jon Lester and CC Sabathia

October 26, 2009
East Coast lefties with a chance to finish in Top Five in AL Cy Young voting.

Clone Wars: Chone Figgins and Denard Span

October 19, 2009
Denard Span does not have the positional flexibility of the pre-2009 Chone Figgins, but there are some striking similarities and possible advantages to Span.

Why the Red Sox lost to the Angels

October 12, 2009
The fact of a short series is that anything can happen.

Why the Red Sox will beat the Angels

October 08, 2009
The Red Sox have dominated this playoff matchup, and 2009 doesn't look like the year that will end.

Clone Wars: Javier Vazquez and Matt Cain

October 05, 2009
The NL has revived Javier Vazquez, while Matt Cain battled staff ace Tim Lincecum for Giants' ace status.

Clone Wars: Chase Utley and Ben Zobrist

September 28, 2009
Is Chase Utley really all alone as the No. 1 second baseman? There have been many improved second basemen, but perhaps Ben Zobrist has been the biggest surprise.

Clone Wars: Zack Greinke and Tim Lincecum

September 21, 2009
Here are your prospective Cy Young winners for 2009. How do they stack up against each other though?

Clone Wars: Adam Lind and Kendry Morales

September 14, 2009
Plenty of outfielders and first basemen have around 30 homers this year, but what about these new comers to the group.

Clone Wars: Aaron Hill and Justin Morneau???

September 08, 2009
This was a comparison no one ever saw, but with an extreme jump in homers Aaron Hill has matched Justin Morneau in four of the five fantasy categories.

Clone Wars: Raul Ibanez and Andre Ethier

August 30, 2009
The relocation of Raul Ibanez to Philadelphia seemed to launch him into a completely new level of play while Andre Ethier also took off in Los Angeles this year.

Clone Wars: Gavin Floyd and John Danks

August 24, 2009
Gavin Floyd was very lucky in 2008 with an xFIP almost a run above his ERA. His teammate John Danks looked ready to breakout this year. Why have they looked like clones so far?

Clone Wars: Prince Fielder and Justin Morneau

August 10, 2009
They couldn't look less alike, but 2009 has been a mirror season for these power first basemen.

Clone Wars: Michael Young and Pablo Sandoval

August 03, 2009
These two third basemen are topping .900 OPS so far this year, but once Michael Young loses short stop next year will they be equal value?

Clone Wars: J.A. Happ and Zach Duke

July 20, 2009
Much like Zach Duke in 2005, J.A. Happ has had a great first 80 plus innings. Will they be similar in his next 80?

Clone Wars: Second half bargains

July 13, 2009
Troy Patterson picks his players to target as bargains for the second half.

Clone Wars: Ian Stewart and Mark Reynolds

July 08, 2009
Ian Stewart has some early signs he might become the next Mark Reynolds and with second base eligibility perhaps a cheap Chase Utley for 2010.

Clone Wars: Jacoby Ellsbury and Juan Pierre

June 29, 2009
Unable to increase his walk rate Jacoby Ellsbury is dangerously close to being the next Juan Pierre.

Clone Wars: Pitchers due to fall

June 22, 2009
If you trust Zach Duke or Nick Blackburn on your staff don't say we didn't warn you.
