Jones' numbers include his prime years, which he is past. Patterson's numbers don't include his prime years, which he is nearing. I wouldn't be surprised if your bet works out. Corey's AVG, OBP, and SLG have gone down every year since '03. I don't know why you think he'll suddenly enter his prime years and be a good hitter. Maybe a change of scenery will benefit him, but nothing else suggests that he'll be worthy of a roster spot in the near future.
