Bautista and AA are close and Bautista knows his staff, so it's not surprising he ended up here given the price and only a minor league deal to take a look. That said, I never liked Jose's antics with Toronto and he certainly looked done last year after not looking so good the previous year either. So odds are he won't do good here, but given the history between AA and him he will get a shot. AA obviously hopes he can bounce back and give the Braves another power hitter to go along with Freeman.
Don't forget about his relationship with Kevin Seitzer....he credited Seitzer for helping his swing, so maybe we can catch lightning in a bottle.
