Swap Cano and Bautista, and I think you'd see a huge difference though.

Cano is being paid $24 million a year for 10 years and was never an option for the Blue Jays. Bautista is not Cano and nobody is arguing that he is. Bautista is no Ken Griffey Jr or Mike Trout either. However, he is a valuable part of our team. In fact he is the centrepiece of our team. You can argue that he may not be the best centrepiece...that's fair. To argue that he brings the team down is ridiculous.
Bautista is an uber competitive person. I have never seen him show up his teammates or do anything that shows that he is a me first person. He wants to win and isn't afraid to say that. I would prefer more guys who are desperate to win.
Do you know something that I don't know about Bautista?
