Down year. Still had a 360 OBP and a 117 OPS+ It's better than jay Bruce. Bruce had a higher slugging % suggesting more feast/ famine. The Bane of jays fans existence
Joey even had a better dWAR than jay Bruce last season in RF
And if big issue is "price is right". Wouldn't be surprised if fowler gets his 18 over 5 paying him until 36/37. Bautista potentially could be had on a 1 year show me deal that is relatively cheap given the draft compensation
If we all wanted fowler so bad why didn't we get him last year in the same circumstances.
