MLB: Corey Hasn't Changed, Dusty Doesn't Let It Affect His Plans

Corey Patterson has not elevated his game AT ALL; he still doesn't hit .300, or get on base well, and these days, he hits for power a bit less. Now he is hitting .239; but Baker still has him leading off.

It's a very sad outcome for a guy who had been a blue-chip prospect. The question now becomes: what happened? He never did get hurt, or get involved with drugs (to our knowledge) or even get buried and not get his chance. He just simply failed to become what he should have become, and only because that is how life sometimes is. And that is how it normally is with Cubs prospects...
