Patterson's a stealin' fool

So...anyone want to take a guess how many bases Corey may steal this year? Right now he's leading the league at 26....(Go Corey Go! Don't let Bowa get you down).

I just love seeing this guy in action. 25/26 (and he was picked off...not caught by the catcher).

Just dont bat him before the #6 spot. At almost 3 million a year he cant take the pressure:ughh

If he keeps hitting,at least decently,I think he'll steal around 60. If he goes into one of his previous slumps,Maybe 40. The O's aren't a huge power team and need to take advantage of "small ball" opportunities. He and Roberts give them a dimension that has been missing for quite awhile.

Imagine a guy with all those skills batting .290+ at lead-off and getting all those shots on the bases with RBI hitters coming up? If this guy can ever rise up to that challenge HE WOULD BE AWSOME!

I agree. He has the tools to make it happen. But the Cubs waited years for it to happen and nothing doing. Very frustrating to know how good he could be but have to wait for so long for it to happen, if it ever will.

I think if he can keep the plate patience and learn a way to hit the lefties he's going to get 60 SB. I'm worried that he may start rushing the plate a bit as we move forward in the season (as evidenced by other years with Cubs). We'll see....as long as he stays where he is...I'm loving what he's doing.
