Both should not have been given suspensions IMO. It was evidently more intentional that O'Day plunked Bautista after Showalter lost his s*** for no reason.
I wonder what about Happ's fastball is so effective (when he's commanding it at least). Maybe the arm slot change actually added some deceptiveness after all, so props to the org for making him a viable #5 starter, albeit not the ideal candidate with his contract.

Harper's swing is a thing of beauty, and the one foul ball he hits and is shown is like 90 grade bat speed.
Yup, shouldn't count those out for sure, but he was the most consistent in the aforementioned years, people forget how good he actually was for the Jays, they only remember untradeable contract Wells.
2006 Vernon Wells arguably had a better season than Adam Jones' best season, which if you go by value would be this season. Wrist injuries really derailed his career, but his best 5 years rival Jones' best 5 years to date.
