I remember when the Royals acquired him and then flipped him in a multi-team deal for Huber, IIRC.

He did what Joe Mauer did last year. HGH, duh. He's rolling the dice.

His ISO rate is 60% higher than his career average, his HR/FB% is massively inflated over his career norms, he has a piss poor LD%, and he hits a lot of infield flies.
He's an uppercut swinging hacker who is having a hugely aberrational power year.

A portion of it could be chemical. Most of it is just the fact that he's really, really lucky right now, and he plays in a hitter's park.

Do you think some of his success can be credited to coaching. I think Cito Gaston has done an excellent job with him. Cito is an excellent hitting coach and has developed some really good hitters during his career.

Don't worry, by this time next year he'll have remembered that he's really Jose Bautista.

The only thing that a hitting coach can really teach you is philosophy. His K% is such that it's indicative that he hasn't shortened his stroke. He doesn't hit for a tremendous average, nor is he a guy that hits to all fields. If Gaston had really improved him, his contact ratio and his LD% would be way up. They aren't.

What do Bautista's numbers look like away from home? That should provide a part of your answer.

Lind and Hill's power numbers are way down this year. They hit 70+ combined last year.

As Jose goes is how my two fantasy teams do it seems. Right now I'm kicking ass. Talk to me at the first of next month.
