29-year old OF/3B Jose Bautista is on fire with the bat for the Toronto Blue Jays this year.  Bautista has played in 129 games for the Blue Jays this year and he is 121 of 455 (.266 avg, 1.002 OPS) with 88 runs scored, 42 homers, 99 RBIs and 6 stolen bases.  He has whiffed 97 times this season but pitchers are starting to get more careful when he bats as they have walked him 82 times.  Bautista is a true late bloomer as coming into this year he had career highs of 75 runs scored, 16 homers, 63 RBIs and 6 stolen bases.  He was always a very highly thought of “prospect” as he was traded quite a few times early in his career.  It seems as if it’s all coming together for Bautista and it will be interesting to see if he can parlay that success into a long term deal with the Jays.
