American League outfielders

After two seasons of performing at an MVP level, Toronto Blue Jays’ rightfielder Jose Bautista was off to an atrocious start in April. A combination of being overshadowed by Albert Pujols’ struggles in Los Angeles and the fact the media rarely extends its eyes to Toronto anyway kept Bautista’s problems a little more in the dark, but the man who hit 97 home runs over 2010-11 had only three at the end of April and was batting below .200. It’s a mark of just how hot Bautista has been that not only are his numbers starting to catch up to recent norms, he can still lead up TheSportsNotebook’s discussion of American League corner outfielders as we continue to trod the road to Kansas City and the July 10 All-Star Game.
