Wouldn’t you know that once they left Chicago, former Cubs Corey Patterson and Nomar Garciaparra would find new life with other teams?
After missing the first few weeks of the season with an injury, Garciaparra has returned to being the player we once knew when he was with Boston. Now he's playing first base for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He’s hitting .369 with six home runs, 18 doubles and 38 RBI. With his stats, he could make the National League All-Star team. Best part of all, for Dodger fans at least, Nomar is healthy.
Corey Patterson has also found new life with the Baltimore Orioles. Patterson has emerged as the all-around player we expected to see here in Chicago. As of today, Patterson is hitting .281 with seven home runs, six doubles and 21 RBI. His 22 stolen bases leads the American League. Why couldn’t he have played this way in Chicago?
I guess sometimes a change of scenery is the best thing for a player.
