Best Player in Baseball and its not even close!

Jose Bautista. on top of the homers, on top of the avg. best right fielder in baseball right now.


its not even close. anyone close to him in batting is nowhere near he output in the field.


too bad the american media doesnt know what good baseball is. talking about jorge posada LMAO.

we had the best pitcher in baseball for the last decade and half of baseball only figured it out last year.

now we have the best player in baseball!

i am sure the canadian media talks about him...american media does somewhat...but with anything it is regionalized for sports...the east coast bias shit...in this case he is in canada which doesn't figure into the american east coast superiority that the american media fixates on

I also like that he just isn't a slugger. Good base-runer with decent speed, and plays a great right field.

But LOL at OP saying american media doesn't know what good baseball is. Jays might not get as much airtime as other bigger name teams, that is understandable, but that is like a Sharks fan saying the Canadian media doesn't know what good hockey is. lol.

im just stirring the pot with the american media.


rome, right now. he is the best player in baseball. like i said before, anyone that is near his numbers at the plate are lacking in the field.


he is the best right fielder in baseball. he has a cannon, constantly runners dont test his arm, he has thrown out a bunch of guys. he can steal bases at a good rate as well.


sorry sweetleaf, i know the pirates had him for a while.

The guy has done it one year. Until he does it at least 3 or 4 or when it comes out he tested positive for steroids I will be LMFAO. Plus the best player in baseball right now is Miguel Cabrera for the Tigers. His Defense is sick too.

Personally I think he has to be the most feared/respected at this moment.
