#29 Joe Paterson. LHP. BD: 05-19-1986. 6'1", 210 lbs.
2009 Stats: AA- 5-6, 1.96, 69 IP, 24 BB, 69 K's.
Joe Paterson is a lefty reliever drafted out of Oregon State in 2007. He has pitched well at every stop so far while maintaining K/9's of at least 9. Lefties who miss bats like that have a high probability of a MLB career at least as a LOOGY in the bullpen. I expect Paterson to open the season in AAA Fresno. He should be #4 on the lefthanded reliever depth chart behind Affeldt, Runzler, and Hinshaw, and I'm not sure about Hinshaw. It seems Alex might getting close to using up his chances.
