FACTS/FLUKES: Bautista, Escobar, Doubront, Morrow, Carter
Dec 14 2012
Can we expect a rebound from Bautista? ... With 27 first-half home runs, it looked as if José Bautista (OF, TOR) was on his way to another monster campaign in 2012. Then a wrist injury sidelined him for the majority of the season's second half, limiting him to just 48 ABs. There's no questioning his power, but after a .302 batting average in 2011, how worried should we be about last season's 1H decline (.241 BA)?
