Eric Patterson: Consider Keeping The Guy

This guy is nothing like his brother who turned out to be a nightmare for the Cubs. This guy has a great attitude and gives 100%. It's the little things like when he may pop out he'll sprint around the bases or go all out down the basepath on a groundball that almost got him 2 infield hits last night. He has shown speed, and he's handling the bat, last night he hit a 2 run home run off Javier Vazquez and had 3 hits the previous day. Jim Hendry may be just using Patterson to show off his talent for showcasing, This could be a bargaining chip for general manager Jim Hendry. Other teams may see Patterson's talent and Patterson could be involved in a trade for example the Cubs acquiring a pitcher. This kid has been nothing but good, and the Cubs should consider keeping him. He's outplayed Felix Pie and Pie was touted to be a lot better. If they can acquire a top tier pitcher like a C.C. Sabathia and Eric Patterson has to be traded to make the deal work, good luck kid. Eric Patterson has more potential than you think, and he could someday be a great player. Sadly though, the Cubs may not have room for him.
