I got this Jose Guillen bat from a fellow board member recently, and neither one of us really understands what's going on with the tape job. He mentioned that he'd seen similar tape jobs on pitcher's bats - something about reminding them where to put their hands when bunting.

My first thought, when I saw a picture of it, was that some batboy or equipment guy had just taped it to keep the pieces together - except that it's much too careful and precise a job for that, and anyway, the bat isn't even broken in that area.
Any thoughts?
