Bautista is trying to establish himself as an everyday right fielder to end out his final contract year and Gibby knows it. Gibby is a "player's manager" and unfortunately for the better of the team, he probably won't pull Bautista for defense unless the game isn't that close. He will however replace Saunders with the excuse that he's doing it to protect him from injury, thus getting f***ed for some serious money in the off season. Yeah, Bautista has an upper hand on Gibby and it's pretty obvious.
