Dude's only a year removed from being one of the best hitters in the league and he looked much more like the Donaldson of old in Cleveland, granted it's a small sample size. It's a lot for a 1-year-deal, but if anyone is worth the "prove it" deal it's Donaldson IMO.
He projects to be a substantial improvement over Camargo, too.
Agreed except I think they hang on to Camargo and use him in a super utility role and Dans stays at SS, although it's a make or break year for him imo. Camargo and Culberson as your 2 main bench pieces is a hell of a bench.One year deal, more money than I would like, but potentially high reward. Don't mind it.
Probably means that either Dansby Swanson or Johan Camargo is gonna be traded away though, that or Austin Riley is gonna be used in a major trade, but if Donaldson is 3/4 the player he was before his injury, it improves our offense without sacrificing much on defense.
Less than thrilled about the Brian McCann nostalgia signing though.
Should, hopefully, help Freeman too with Donaldson hitting clean up.Bit pricey IMO but still a good deal for a good young team.

I like the Donaldson signing, if he's injured then we just eat the money (again) for the year and move on to 2020
I'd be happier about the McCann signing if we didn't already have Flowers. They're the same to me and tells me that we're done making moves at C this year and they're hoping to develop their own JTR from within.
I don't think the Braves are done yet. We will see..

I think he will be an every day player so to speak, just not locked to any one position unless an injury happensCamargo isn't an elite player by any stretch, but to me he's too good to be a bench piece and not an everyday player. I could honestly see him playing RF since it looks like my Bryce Harper wishes were just a pipe dream.
Moustakas gets $5 million last year, crazy how quickly things change.
Michael Brantley rumors are getting strong.
Moustakas was worth 5.1 WAR in 2016-18. Donaldson was worth 4.8 in an injury-shortened 2017 alone. Moose ain't bad, but I'd much rather pony up the extra $15M+ for a dude that was arguably the 2nd best player only a year+ ago.Moustakas sucks. What the fuck are you talking about?
