WHAT CAN PATTERSON DO THAT HOPPER CAN'T?

Steal 40 bases? What else?
Hit from the left side of the plate ?

Hit a HR every now and then (more than once a season)?

Have a SLG higher than his OBP?

Look, I'm no fan of Patterson - based on his previous history - but I'm DEFINITELY not more of a fan of Hopper because of it. In fact, it might make me hate him more than I already did, because he'll likely be the RH complement to Patterson.
