I think you just need to show Bautista that this guy is the new leader guy in the clubhouse.

I don't care for unwritten rules that result in suboptimal play. With regards to "leadership" here's the thing... leaders lead... if the guys follow Bautista then he's the leader if they don't then he's not. You can't arbitrarily declare X the leader because you like the cut of his jib or whatever. Doesn't work that way.
Besides all that Bautista is good at baseball... I like guys that are good at baseball. The Jays just need more guys that are good at throwing it.
