Is Toronto Blue Jay OF/INF Jose Bautista Taking A PED?

Prior to this year, his best year for HRs was in 2006 when he was with the Pittsburgh Pirates, when he hit 16. He now has 43. He attributes his success to coaching.

Something smells fishy to me.

Discuss.

 

PEDs, maybe, but it feels more like the classic contract year stat boom.

 

HGH. Watch his performance suddenly drop when they introduce testing for it in the Bigs.
