AA was the person who saw Bautista on the waiver wire and recommended to J.P. that they put in a claim.
“The Blue Jays acquired Bautista from the Pirates in August 2008 when Alex Anthopoulos, then an assistant to former GM J.P. Ricciardi, saw his name come up on the revocable waiver wire. After getting Ricciardi’s blessing, Anthopoulos put in a claim for Bautista and worked out a deal that would send minor-league catcher Robinzon Diaz to Pittsburgh.”

I like how you conveniently left out the part where he asked LaCava for his take and then JP for the final say.

Well if he included that it would have made AA look less like a genius!

I read a Bautista article in the Globe&Mail yesterday. Questions are beginning to come up. His HR total is really something considering people like Pujols may not get to 40 before Jose gets to 50. I assume he’s been tested and all is well?
