PrintLast week, I wrote this article on Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista for the SB Nation fantasy page. Click on the link and have a look.
Here is an excerpt:
He is doing this with a BABIP of .240, which is below his career BABIP of .273, yet his ISO is .337, well above his career high of .185. His SLG% of .593 is almost 200 points higher than his career high.
Can Bautista duplicate his 2010 production in 2011?

from Fangraphs disagrees with me:

He ends the column with this:
Bautista will likely never have a year like this again, but there’s no reason to think he’s going to revert back to the version we saw before last September. He has made changes that can stick, even if not quite to this degree, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Bautista hit 30 to 40 home runs each of the next several years.
I don’t see it….career highs across the board.
