I thought Cabrera had a legitimate shot at winning the Triple Crown this year but it's not gonna happen. Bautista is hitting way too many long balls. Cabrera usually hits 30-35 so I don't see him catching up unless Bautista gets hurt or magically goes into a homer drought for the rest of the season.
Guy has really come out of nowhere and posted a really impressive season.

...someone has to mention that the jays recently played the Orioles and Indians.

I hope there are other people out there as baffled and as furious as I am about Jose Bautista. There is no explanation for someone like him being able to put up these numbers in the AL East. I am pulling for Miguel Cabrera.

I am too. I would love to see a triple crown and I think he has the best shot to do it.

Jose Bautista's card values also baffle me. You'd think his Chrome Autos would be getting more with this crazy year he's had!

Is Jose Bautista, a utility player, who couldn't cut it with the Pirates, proving that the pitching in the AL East just isn't that tough?

Great season by Bautista.
Nice to see someone on teh Jays doing well.
Us fans typically dont have much to cheer for so its nice to see a Jay leading the majors in HRs this deep in the season.
At the same time I hope AA can fleece someone into overpaying in a trade involving Jose.

What does that matter? Why haven't the other 8 guys in the lineup put up #'s like that then? It's MLB-pitching.

Really man?
You don't think that Vernon Wells with 20HR and ALEX GONZALEZ with 17HR is the other guys putting up numbers? Toronto is 4pts back of Boston in SLG%. Without Bautista's 30 HR, Toronto would still have the 3rd most HR in the MLB (behind BOS & MIL, ahead of CIN)
Toronto as a team IS Jose Bautista: 1st in HR, .250 AVG, 2nd in SLG (.456) , .312 OBP
I think it's pretty clear when you subtract 30HR from the Team's total and they still are third, the rest of the team is putting up numbers like that.

Maybe playing the Orioles and Jays happened to be a span of games where he hit a few extra homeruns, but he has 31 this season, not 5. As the above poster mentioned, MLB pitching is MLB pitching...it's the best there is.
Bautista, who has always had 20-25 HR power, has had a really odd career path. He lost a full year of development to being ****** around as a Rule 5'er and also suffered through 2 separate hand injuries which everyone knows kills your power. While this is obviously a career year, I don't think he'll immediately go back to being a utility player or anything. It appears as though he's just a late bloomer who finally got a chance. He does other things incredibly well: taking walks, playing the outfield (leading the league in assists). I could definitely see him putting up 3-4 years of .250/.360/.460 ball.
I'd hesitate to put any stock in his Pirates career, too. They're not exactly a development machine.

No I meant if the Orioles and Indians suck so bad, why isn't everyone in the lineup putting up those numbers against them.
My point is MLB pitching is MLB pitching, regardless of team record. If it was as easy as you insinuate against Bal and Cle, then everyone should be able to do what Bautista has done.
Do you say "someone has to mention that the jays recently played the Orioles and Indians" when a superstar bats .100 against them? I think not.
