KFFL Says:
J-Bau credited tweaked mechanics late in 2009 that allowed him to begin his swing earlier for his massive improvement. Bautista's isolated power skyrocketed, and he cut down significantly on grounders.
Bautista THE question
He could be better in the average department, but his line-drive rate (14.4 percent) was not encouraging. Matching his MLB-leading 54 home runs from a year ago will be tough. His previous career high: 16. Adjustments by pitchers won't help, even with his improved patience. A drop in homers and RBIs is expected and probably would offset any average gains. As a fifth-round mixed pick, he'll probably be out of your comfort zone.

Fantasy Baseball Hot Stove Says:
2010 major league home run rates were the lowest in baseball since 1993, but Jose Bautista didn't notice. He launched 54 home runs last year and led the majors by 12 jacks. The last time any player came close to hitting 54 home runs was when Alex Rodriguez hit that many in 2007. The Toronto third baseman's 2010 HR output was exceptional considering this context. In fact, it was exceptional in pretty much any context -- 54 home runs in a single season is tied for 19th all time.
Bautista's power showed up elsewhere in his fantasy stat line, too: He was third in RBI (124) and eighth in runs (109). Toss in 9 SB and he was probably the most valuable fantasy baseball free agent pickup in 2010. Bautista hit 10 HRs in September to end his 2009 season, so we have a little more than a season's worth of proof that the man has power. Even the one weak spot in his 2010 fantasy resume -- his .260 batting average -- could be attributed to bad luck. His 2010 BABIP (.233) was much lower than his .270 career mark.
Skeptics Say: Considering how exceptionally Bautista performed in 2010, it is inevitable that he will not perform as well in 2011. While Bautista may have proven he has power, he won't post another monstrous .357 ISO. This was about 150 points higher than his career number, and if his batting average improves while his home runs come back down to earth a bit, we shouldn't be surprised to see him fall back to the pack (he led ISO by over 60 points).
Moreover, baseball's a game of adjustments, and Bautista has proven thus far that he's a fastball masher. He's not necessarily awful at hitting other pitches -- he's just not nearly as good at hitting them as he is at hitting fastballs. Still, pitchers threw fastballs to him at a roughly 50% clip in 2010. In 2011, Bautista will face teams knowing he's the most scouted hitter in his team's offense. It's likely that better prepared pitchers will exploit any holes that can be found in his approach to the plate.
Projections: It's unlikely Jose Bautista's HR output will be as prolific as it was in 2010. Still, I don't expect a huge drop-off in value. He might not dominate the home run category, but there is no reason to think he can't post upper echelon power numbers. Power isn't as easy to find as it used to be, and even a loss of 15-20 home runs would have kept Bautista in the top 10 in homers last year. He'll flash serious power in 2011 even with a major regression:
98 R, 37 HR, 115 RBI, 8 SB, .269 AVG
