Well jeez you could argue that Willie Mays' fielding is not as good as A. Jones too.

But to say:

<blockquote>Quote:<hr />

Patterson really hasn't brought anything to the table since being called up to the Cubs roster.

<hr /></blockquote>

is one of the most ridiculous statements I have seen on this board

<hr /></blockquote>

No, it's justified.

Here's how:

Last year, after the All-Star break, he went on a _miserable_ slump. Gave the Cubs absolutely nothing.

Many Cub faithful questioned his ability after hearing about his awesome ability in the minors.

I for one thought he'd be a great pro, but up until this season he really hasn't been.

This season he has been remarkable, yes.

Was he in seasons past though? Absolutely not.

Andruw, on the other hand, has. He puts up 35-40 HR every season while almost getting 100 RBI's. He's a great 5 spot hitter that brings power and a glove that is unmatched to the Braves' roster.

I compare Patterson to Rafael Furcal this year. Both have had seasons they want to forget..but have stepped it up.

I'm not just talking about this season, but _every_ season Patterson has played in. He's not starting CF quality for the All-Star game, anybody would tell you that. Heck, I'd vote for Jim Edmonds before I voted for Corey Patterson.

A ridiculous statement? Hardly. You call yourself a Cub fan? Look at his previous seasons and tell me he's a great CF

case closed, see he *has* brought something to the table.

<blockquote>Quote:<hr />

<hr /></blockquote>

ever hear of a young player improving with experience?

you are confusing me with the other guy who said he was better than Jones, I am just mocking your *ridiculous* statement that:

<blockquote>Quote:<hr />

Patterson really hasn't brought anything to the table since being called up to the Cubs roster.

<hr /></blockquote>

If you really believe that leading a contending team in BA, HR, & RBI is "bringing nothing to the table" than I guess there is nothing else to be said

No, you were. I was comparing Mays to A. Jones. I was complimenting A. Jones.
