Astros Rumors: Patterson, Loretta
If 30-year old righty John Patterson clears waivers today, Ed Wade will give him a call. Patterson hails from Orange, Texas and was released by the Nationals on Thursday. You can read about Patterson's injury-packed history here.
In other Astros news, Wade is not likely to deal infielder Mark Loretta, despite alleged interest from the Dodgers. The Dodgers want Loretta to sub for perennially injured 3B Nomar Garciaparra, who will not be ready to go by opening day. However, there may be wishful thinking going on in Los Angeles, as the Astros are also coping with an unpleasant injury to their new second baseman, Kaz Matsui.
Wade doesn't like to discuss trade rumors, but told the Houston Chronicle that he "expects" Loretta to be with the Astros on opening day.

Who can forget Wandy Rodriguez's problem with cold sores in his mouth & throat from last year...?
Also, was Patterson ever linked to PEDs? Or is it as Tim said, maybe he just wasn't built to pitch every 5 days...?

J Patterson and PED's? Is this what we've come too? The man is 6'5 190 lbs soaking wet. He had Tommy John surgery at age 22. Clearly the man's got a fragile right arm.
