Jays may want to trade Jose Bautista
Trading Jose Bautista I guess that the Jays would get a great package for him and be set for seasons wait not really as Jose Bautista is on paper much better than any thing they could get back for him.
So I think that the Jays should trade Jose Bautista because his hot temper and his decision making on the field has become a much bigger negative than his production has been a positive as he pimps what he thinks is a home run in a game on the first game of the home stand against David Price and the Rays in the first inning and it becomes simply a long fly ball. Then Sunday looking at 2 and 7 going into the finale of a 10-game home stand Edwin Encarnacion hits a Ball to center field and thinks it a home run and get his arm out for his parrot and it turns out that it hit the top of the fence and was lucky not to be thrown out at second.
So everybody pimped homers early the first game of the home stand with J.P., double E, and even Bautista did it all before the fourth inning and then slowly watch the game slip through their fingers picking up only a single hit over the last 4 innings with Price on the mound and only a Brett Lawrie solo shot against the pen as they lost another one.
Then Jose Bautista today decided he was more than the team as in the seventh inning was at the plate with runners on second and third with one out and did not like a strike call by the ump early in the at bat and finished the at bat with strike out on a ball out of the strike zone and turned to the ump and gave him a piece of his mind and was tossed out of the game. He simply needed a fly ball to score Brett Lawrie from third to give the Jays the lead 2-1 and be able to get that ball to Casey Janssen with the lead.
Jose Bautista was not the only Jay thinking about himself as Rajai Davis had 4 stolen bases and was on third and could of scored once if he slide around the catcher but he went in standing up and was out on Josh Thole bunt.
Colby Rasmus has been hitting over .375 on the 10-game home stand but when he has had a shot at putting Casey Janssen in a better position to save a game as he got k'd with two out in the seventh inning of a 1-1 tie with Lawrie on third and this past Wednesday with the Jays up 5-4 with Bautista on third with one out he k'd for the third time in the game in the eighth. Then got his glove and a strike left to the Dodgers name he drove for a ball and missed it allowing the tying run to score and give Janssen an undeserving blown save as he should of laid up for the ball and had first and second and allowed Janssen another shot at saving his only save opportunity of the home stand.
Casey did get a win in the finale of the home stand as Colby Rasmus did get a single to drive home Emilio Bonifacio from second with one out in the bottom of the ninth and it was the second appearance for Janssen in the last 10 games which is not good for a closer.
So in the end Bautista attitude is bad for the team as it rubbing off on the Jays dugout in the worst way and it maybe time to cut ties and separate ways for the better mint of the team going forward even if we all that production from the lineup
