Eleven years ago today: The Blue Jays traded for Colby Rasmus. It was a trade in two acts. Act One: The Jays traded veteran reliever Jason Frasor and prospect Zach Stewart to the White Sox for...
Patterson was not one of my favourite Blue Jays. He didn’t do anything well, didn’t hit much , his defence in left was interesting , nor was he a great base runner . And he had this thing about swinging at pitches over his head . Yet people liked him more than Edwin Encarnacion at the time. Corey hit .157/.189/.235 in 44 games, for the Cardinals, after the trade, and that would be the end of his MLB career.
And Colby, well, you know. He didn’t become a star, but he was decent for us. In 4 seasons, he played 408 games, hitting .234/.295/.433 with 66 home runs. His best season was 2013, hitting .276/.338/.501 with 22 home runs. I was a fan, but then I like guys that are square pegs in a round hole world. So I’ll always have a soft spot for him. He seemed like someone who couldn’t always deal with the pressures and constant criticism of being a major league baseball player but was a good guy at heart.
