John Patterson, who many people thought would be the opening day starter for the Washington Nationals was released today by the team. The lack of velocity Patterson has shown all spring training, was the main reason for his release reports are saying.
What do you think abou this Nationals fans? The team will only save around $600,000 by releasing him. I think it is a very big suprise and not sure if I would have done it when you look at the rest of the pitching rotation.
