Brewers released OF Corey Patterson; re-signed him to a minor league contract.

Brewers signed OF Corey Patterson to a minor league contract.

The deal does not include an invite to big-league camp, though that could change. Patterson, 32, batted .239/.273/.359 with six home runs, 36 RBI, 13 stolen bases and a .632 OPS over 396 plate appearances between the Blue Jays and Cardinals last season. He's expected to open the season at Triple-A Nashville, but provides some depth if Ryan Braun's 50-game suspension sticks.

Patterson led the charge on a day where Jose Bautista went just 1-for-4 with a single, and capped off a huge weekend that saw him go 9-for-12 with two home runs and six runs scored. The bomb today was his fourth of the season, while he's now up to 24 RBI to go along with a .301 average. He's showing stubborn persistence when it comes to warranting mixed-league ownership.

He went 5-for-7 with four runs scored as the designated hitter. It was the third five-hit game of his career. Patterson might not have a regular role once Adam Lind returns from the disabled list, but his power-speed combo makes him worth owning in AL-only leagues at the moment.

Patterson put down a perfect safety squeeze that resulted in everyone being safe and gave the Jays a 3-2 lead in the ninth. He later scored after Juan Rivera's grounder to third bounced off Adrian Beltre's chest, setting off a weird chain of events. Beltre made a lazy toss to pitcher Darren Oliver after the play, and since Oliver didn't seem to be paying attention, Yunel Escobar took off from second. Patterson, who was on third, didn't budge, forcing Escobar to turn around. Oliver, though, threw the ball into center field trying to retire Escobar, allowing Patterson to score.

With the deal comes an invitation to spring training. Patterson, 31, batted .269/.315/.406 with eight homers and 21 steals over 90 games for the Orioles in 2010. He's probably not going to win a spot on Toronto's Opening Day roster, but one injury could vault him into fantasy relevancy.
