Patterson's upside has cooled significantly since his solid 2006 season where he hit 25 HR and had 86 RBI. Much of this can be attributed to a horrific injury that shattered his forearm when Patterson was struck by a pitch early in the 2007 season. Though he seems to have fully recovered from this injury, his power numbers have yet to return to their pre-'07 levels. Patterson has a compact, powerful swing that drives balls well to all fields. Defensively he profiles to be an average corner outfielder with below average speed. For someone of his power potential, Patterson does not walk very much and his unorthodox swing can be prone to prolonged slumps. Patterson's future is likely as a platoon player who can provide some HR pop off of the bench. Given his age of 26 in 2009, this is the best upside that Patterson provides. Expect Patterson to get a look with the big club at some point in '09.
