‘Ottawa’ Returning Bautista in it for the Team, Not His Numbers
Jose Bautista made it clear on Thursday afternoon that he has not returned to the Blue Jays lineup with a list of demands or a prima donna attitude or as a pending free agent worried about his individual statistics.
He’s not about to tell manager John Gibbons where he wants to bat in the lineup, nor is he going to demand to start every game in right field or anything like that.
Bautista said he just wants to be a good soldier and help the Jays get into the playoffs and to the World Series. He wants to be another bullet in the holster.
“Right now it’s about winning,” said Bautista, following batting practice at the Rogers Centre. “The team’s doing great. Hopefully I’ll slide in and continue to let the team roll like we have.”
