The whole EE/Bautista situation is such a mind F.

On one hand you have Bautista: since 2010 has been the face of the franchise, two time 50 home run hitter, since 2010 no has hit more homers int he bigs than Bautista, Bat Flip™ and health nut. However he is 35, not much of a defender in the outfield and wants a lot of money.

Then you have EE: Mr. Consistent for the Blue Jays, year after year produces at a .900 or above OPS. Leads the major leagues in RBI, and will give you 30+ home runs. However there are always questions about his commitment to fitness, he rarely gets through a season without getting injured and is also 33.

How the hell do you choose one over the other?

JD/EE back-to-back must be an absolute nightmare to face

Jeez. Segura chops it a mile in the air straight off the plate for a hit. Bastard.

I feel like Segura is hitting 1.000 against the Jays.

Yep, and that is the exact reason why I felt I had to vent and call him a bastard.
