I have no hopes whatsoever for Gustavo Molina, who is not related to the fabulous Molina Brothers and profiles as a lighter hitting Kevin Cash (.639 career OPS in 11 minor league seasons).
Eric Patterson, though, could be a pretty decent player. He was considered a real prospect when he was with the Cubs and has a lifetime .846 OPS in the minors. Three times he stole better than 40 bases in a season and he can play all three outfield spots and second base (though his infield defense might be a bit sketchy). Never really gotten a full-time chance in the big leagues, with just 335 at bats over four seasons. Baseball Prospectus quoted a scout this year describing him as "half the tools but twice the ballplayer" as big brother Corey. Anyway, I've always liked him, and he could at least be a useful part of the bench ... if the Sox ever have a bench again.
