Initially, it may seem laughable but when you actually sit and think about it, Bautista possesses all the attributes the Blue Jays brain trust is seeking from a new manager. There is no denying his competitiveness and desire to win, while also being forward thinking and a student of the game.
Bautista is bilingual being a native of the Dominican Republic and knows the inside workings of the Blue Jays organization better than anyone. He has rockstar status north of the border and is respected among his peers and would have the ear of every young impressionable player in the room.
