Braves sign Jose Bautista

[Jonn]

Happy for him. He clearly still wants to play. Worked hard in the off-season. I hope he proves people wrong all over again.

[saskjayfan]

I couldn't care less what he cares about.

 

you post an awful lot about a guy you could care less about. I hope Baustista does really well. The 7th inning against Texas was probably the best inning the Jays have had in 20 years.

I had to go back to see who made the post (polar bear). Hence, I don't have the foggiest idea what you're talking about. I've never referenced him in any post ever before.

[polar bear]

That means you do care.... at least a little

 

As soon as I posted that,I new what I did,and said f*** it I don't care.

Bet you wish you did care now.

Why?

This is the only way Jose will stay in the league; be a utility player that covers 3b, 1b, and the outfield.

Gross deal for Bautista.

Gross deal for Bautista.

 

AA says that Bautista turned down a more lucrative deal elsewhere

 

That's an odd thing to make public and also odd for Bautista to do so

Not necessarily - at this stage of his career money isn't the most important thing, especially if the higher offer was only a million or so.

 

This is possibly his last chance to play in the majors again, if he feels his best chance to do that is with the Braves then why go elsewhere for a bit more money?

What he wants I'm sure is just to play in the majors again and yes money might be very secondary

 

Not clear at all which job offer offered the best chance

[AGL_91]

Take less money this year to get more ABs, and maybe turn it into a another one year deal next year.

[AledmysDiaz]

I hope Bautista has an amazing come back year.

[wilko]

I knew picking him first round in my fantasy draft would pay off!

With Freeman's injury last night, that path to 1b/3b might be a bit shorter. Right now they are saying the injury isn't serious and it's not a re-break, but it was on the exact same same bone as last year's break from a Loup pitch.
