Ok, Bautista isn't a once in a generation player, but he's a great player. In 2010 he hit 54 and was 3rd in the AL in OPS. The following season he was better and lead the AL in OPS. This year he is third in OPS in the AL. He's had more than great seasons. He is currently having a very good season. Maddon called Bautista a great player. EE and Bats are both great players.
