Lots of people are excited about the Blue Jays this year. You can include Toronto slugger Jose Bautista in that group.
To start with, he likes the make-over at the top of the batting order.
?People with high on-base percentage and low strikeout rates at the top of the lineup is always good, especially when they can run like Jose [Reyes] and Melky [Cabrera] can,? Bautista said in a recent interview with mlb.com. ?They?re going to set the table for us. The better they do, the better that Edwin [Encarnacion] and Adam [Lind] and I will be able to drive runs in.?
Reyes, in particular, Bautista said, gives the Jays something they have lacked.
?We haven?t had a true leadoff guy here since [Marco] Scutaro left. ? With Reyes, we have the whole package, which is going to be huge.?
Having a bunch of new players won?t be any problem either, Bautista said, when it comes to that team chemistry thing you read about in sports stories all the time.
?The sense I get from meeting all of these guys is ? they?re all major-league, established players. They?re not out to make a name for themselves, they?re not prideful players where they?re going to take their personal stats over team wins. I think everyone here has the same goal in mind, and that?s winning games and hopefully going to the World Series and being world champions. Because of those reasons, I don?t think team chemistry is going to be an issue at all.?
