I think he has a pretty good chance at two more AB.

who is most often batting behind him? Seems like JB would start getting the Bonds treatment at this clip.

the man keeps on giving:
"This guy isn't like Mike Schmidt," Ricciardi said. "He's not going to come out and hit 40 home runs."

The person who voted 30-39 still has a shot, albeit a small one.

that was me actually (or i might have voted 40+), tho i didn't state that at the time.

Weird, but I don't think he ever officially retired. Baseball Reference has an entry for "last game played," but if you google "Jose Bautista retires," the story stops a year ago with various pieces observing the same thing--that he never officially announced.

wasn't he supposed to be on the mets last year?

I think so...He's definitely done; I'm just intrigued that he never officially announced, like he's holding out a glimmer of hope someone will sign him. The rare super-rich guy I feel a little sorry for in that he never really cashed in like he could have--partly his own fault, but mostly, I think, bad timing beyond his control.

(Maybe he's more at fault than I think: the words "no home-town discount" come to mind.)
