Dusty Baker Getting Some Old Cubs

From the Cincinnati Enquirer, by John Fay:

The Reds have signed Corey Patterson and Jerry Hairston Jr. to minor-league deals.

"Patterson will come in and compete for the center field job," Reds GM Wayne Krivsky said. "Hairston is another versatile guy that can play infield/outfield. Patterson is 28 and Hairston is 31. They've got some experience, but we gave them no guarantees. They'll come in and compete."

I love it. Next the Reds will sign Neifi Perez, Tom Goodwin, Troy O'Leary, Doug Glanville, Jose Macias, and Ramon Martinez. All of "Dusty's Guys." Cincinnati, you think Dusty is going to allow Jay Bruce to play this season at the Major League level? Get real. Dusty is and always will be a "veteran's guy." Get ready for a lot of Jerry Hairston.
