Again, if you're so worried about defense, keeping Patterson in there isn't going to free your mind of worries. Patterson was in CF last Sunday when the Reds had 5 errors in a game. Just keeping him in CF isn't some magic bullet that's going to make the defense better. Three-fourths of the IF isn't that great and Bako isn't good either. Hanigan's a rookie. If you're so worried about saving the young pitchers, either put them on the shelf or put them on a strict pitch count.
