Can't say enough about Donaldson, great player with a great attitude. Hates to lose and it shows. Doesn't seem to sulk like Jose. Hard nosed, hard working player. Just what this team needed.

Yeah, been a while since able to watch a full game, but unlike past years, the AL East really doesn't have that one or two teams that looks to be a shoe-in.
BJ's have needed pitching for 1.5 years, and were promised help at the All Star break last year, and never got it, or got it since, even with one of their starters going down before the season started...there is a definite need for as many decent arms as poissible if they're going on a pennant chase in August and beyond.
But yeah, remove Lawrie and his Red Bull attitude, and maybe shake up the Dominicans by having Melky move on, and replacing with strong character in Martin and Donaldson, and the peices are there on offense (who have been performing well all season), as is the attitude..it comes down to the pitching.
AA and Rogers can't cheap out this year at the deadline if this team is where its at and the division is still where it's at, to get the pitching and bench depth.
