I was booing this guy before it was cool to boo him. He used to piss me off.

Corey Patterson opts for free agency
By Mark J. Miller


The Seattle Mariners had Corey Patterson(notes) headed to the minors and the 30-year-old outfielder obviously wasn't happy about it because he decided to opt out of his contract and become a free agent, according to the Everett Herald.

Eric Byrnes(notes) appears to have snagged the backup-outfielder role Patterson thought he would fill this season. The problem is that Patterson doesn't have much to sell himself on. Last year, he had a whopping 29 at-bats in the majors: 14 of them with the Milwaukee Brewers and the remaining 15 with the Washington Nationals. He had a .103 average with two stolen bases.

He had a teensy bit better spring than that, though not by much, batting .216 in 37 at-bats.

He apparently is hoping someone will sign him as a late-inning defensive replacement.

When you are a ballplayer with the storied career of Corey Patterson I can see how he would refuse a trip to the minors to prove yourself.... :roll:

It's too bad because he was a nice kid. Did a charity thing with him when he was a rookie.
