There days it wouldn't be hard to find someone willing to hand him $10 million just to see if he's got something left. Worse players are paid more. I love the guy, and whatever he chooses is fine with me, but if he signs I hope he wins a World Series, right after Edwin wins his this year, I hope. http://middleagedjoker.com/jose-bautista/

There's a lack of appreciation in the guy's appreciation thread. I'll tell you this; not many players have improved themselves as much as Bautista did in mid career. A lot of players, never given a fair shot and shuffled from one organization to another, might have given up, either completely or just in effort. He kept working hard, and when opportunity arrived, he became a star. Bautista for (the catcher they traded from him; name escapes me) is a legendarily wonderful trade. What a player, what moments.
