DUNEDIN, FLA.–Toronto outfielder Jose Bautista is positive about the 2014 season despite missing the final six weeks of the 2013 season due to a bone bruise to his hip. “I was disappointed I didn’t get to finish the season,” said Bautista, “I hope it doesn’t happen again.” Looking towards 2014 Bautista said, “If everybody does what they are capable of with a bit of leadership we can do pretty well.” Last season Bautista hit .259 with 28 homers and 73 RBI but on the power side he has hit 152 homers over the past four seasons.
