Donaldson had 93 and 98 RBI the last two years playing half his games in one of baseball's worst hitters parks. His BA and OBP are really quite similar to 2013, but his slugging is way up - easily explained by his shift to Skydome and a much stronger lineup. Even his WAR and WAA are consistent with the last two years.
Personally, I think it was easy to foresee Donaldson doing this well. He was already an MVP candidate the past two seasons.
