In case you haven't noticed, Patterson has been burning it up since he started playing spring training games. I don't by any means think that he can bat this well during the season, but he is proving that he can get on base, which is something we've been lacking in a leadoff hitter in the past few years. He's also a guy that could possibly steal 30-50 bases. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Bruce, i'm just stating my opinion that having Patterson in CF to start the year isn't the worst thing that could happen to this team.... Having Majewski on the opening day roster would probably be, but that's a whole nother thread
