As far as the Cubs are concerned, Patterson has become somewhat of a malcontent. It's unsure whether they are trying to send him a message by demoting him to the farm, or they've simply given up on him. His speed and power are definitely assets we can use. But is FR willing to give him a full-time shot in the outfield? With his considerable salary and sullen attitude, having him here to just on the bench and be a part-time player may only aggravate his situation and hurt our overall cause.
