With the final out Wednesday of the World Series, Bautista and Encarnacion officially were no longer Blue Jays. Together they have hit nearly eight per cent of all the homers in Blue Jays’ history. The Jays were looking for somebody who could fill in for Rolen at third, but also play multiple positions. In 2009, less than a year after the Jays had acquired Bautista, they were looking to deal Rolen, who had asked for a trade. Ninety-one per cent of Bautista’s home runs with the Jays were hit to his pull side — left or left-centre field — while 86 per cent of Encarnacion’s were pulled.
