OK.............................. board full of Cptn' Obvious's.
There are two main things that affect performance: injury and age. Bautista was playing through injury (and may still be), he wasn't necessarily elite during that time.
I never said he wasn't elite in general, I said 'right now', which I thought he was still under-performing... and a couple people, so kindly I might add, already corrected me on this.
