You wonder how Derrek Lee won a batting crown and had 99 XBH in the three hole and only ended up with 107 RBI in 2005? Dusty values one thing above all else in the leadoff spot: speed. Even if it means batting two guys with sub-.300 OBP's at the top. So long as they are fast, dude. In other words, get used to it. Patterson is quickly approaching sub .200 OBP. 0 for his last 20, and something like 1 for his last 28. but he doesn't clog the bases. so get used to it
