I think Donaldson is entirely the wrong personality for this team.

The leaders of this team are the kids: Bichette, Guerrero, etc. They are the ones setting the culture.

Springer comes in - a vet, a leader, but he doesn't try to take over, he embraces the culture and tries to fit in. And does fit in. Semien just does his job like a pro, so he fits on any team.

But Donaldson wants to be the leader, wants to be the guy. He would change/upset the culture, IMO. I think that would cause problems.

There are lots of potential solutions for 3B, but I don't think Donaldson is one of them.
