How so? This is, is exactly what Beane has done over the past numbers of years. I bet by the end of 2 years from now that is, is an even trade. Donaldson is an upgrade over Lawrie, there is no doubt about that but Donaldson is very inconsistent at the plate. When he is on, he hits everything but when he is not, he is really bad and swings at a lot of bad pitches. What makes this trade for the Jays is not the on field stuff but the clubhouse aspect that Donaldson will bring. He was a real leader in Oakland, the type of player you win with.
