MLB Teams Love Corey Patterson

What do MLB teams see in Corey Patterson?
6 sub-par season with Cubs (2000-2005).
7 different teams have signed him since.
He’s 33-years-old and hasn’t played in the majors in more than a year…
And here the Mets are saying “Hey, let’s take a flyer on this guy.”
It’s a minor league deal, but still…there’s no one else?
Patterson is the quintessential Replacement Level (WAR) Player…
Actually, he’s slightly less…and yet, this could be his 13th seasons in the bigs.
The man will seemingly play forever…MLB teams love this guy.
Don’t ask me why.
