Agree. He will have a hard time at winning a teddy bear throwing baseballs at cuepie dolls.(sarcasm)

He seems to really struggle when he's forced to throw on the run, which happens a lot more at SS

I think the point is that the fact that Donaldson has been just as likely to miss a game the last 2 years and anything else going forward is just projection

OK.....tell ya what......you're coming to Memphis late this summer right?......Here's my 'proposition/bet.'.....If, when you get here, Beltre has more games played than Donaldson at that point, then dinner is on me.

And I seriously think over the years AB hasn't served himself or us as well at times at we might suspect, with all that 'he plays through pain/won't come out of the game' nonsense b/c he's such a competitor. IMO, when a player can't play at a competiitive level - let's say 85% of his norm - then he should be sitting, and not dictating to the manager about how 'I'm playing, no matter what.'

DDJ's batting average sure has dropped.

I'll take that bet, not bc I honestly think Beltre will play more games than Donaldson but it determines who buys food in Memphis haha

Considering he hasn't hit for much power in the minors, I think Guzman might be a 20 HR guy this year provided he makes the needed adjustments at the plate going forward and he continues to play, bc he has a good approach IMO
