And he still plays a + D at 3rd
I prefer knowing I can put Espinol at 2nd, Donaldson at 3rd and super utility Biggio while rotating DH then having Grichuk and the other OF at DH and hoping Biggio and Espinol both stay healthy and can even try to put a dent in Siemens offensive loss
We need to somewhat replace 45 Hrs and 100 RBIs. Grichuk , Espinol and Biggio combined don’t unless we believe first 40 game Grichuk is the real deal and not last 100 games Grichuk where he was demoted to 9th hitter
—- if we believe Groshans can step right into a starter role it is a different story as then you have your full time 3B and run with Espinol and Biggio at 2nd and rotating guys out for DH —— Then I agree having Donaldson as DH is silly . I’m not sure Groshans is there yet

While the bolded is definitely true, that is not a justification for Donaldson.
