Patterson will probably be the starting CF
get past his 5 tool past and look at what he is
-an out machine...horrible OBP
-unlike many other out machines...steals 30-40 bases
-has some pop...+GASP= +20hr
-plays a GREAT center feild and will dominate the small center at GASP

Bruce will play this year, griff will get hurt, or dunn or patterson...or he will just flat out rake and stay healthy in louisville until they can't resist

More good competition for a position of need...pretty strong up the middle...ross, gonzalez bphil and patt...always a good thing

lets not forget this is a minor league contract

bruce will play, not from day 1 and patterson will frustrate us to no end with his inability to make contact but at the end of the day will make us 5-10 runs better in CF and steal 30 bases, hit 15 hr and drive in 70...could be worse

one injury...thats all it takes, next year its all bruce, either griffey and or dunn will be gone and Bruce will DEF be playing somewhere other than CF

nice move on the cheap
