I’d post the “Not Sure If Serious” meme, but sadly I am sure you’re serious.
Value Donaldson how you’d like; I’m glad the Braves’ FO values players differently.

Oh man we have someone that thinks rbi is important. I guess Swanson has been as good of a hitter as Freeman this year.
So you are telling me Dans performance means what exactly? Get off the dumb train man and enjoy a career year for what it is.
Maybe it means he is coming to his own. Time will tell. Now answer me this. Why does your crowd dismiss nearly all of the bedrock stats of this game? Is it because YOU THINK your smarter and just want to show off? Or is it just simply a way to support a player you like personally by finding a good stat when his baseball card isn't pretty by normal standards?
Like wins for a pitcher, runs and rbi for a hitter is totally dependent on the rest of your team. People far smarter than me have developed better ways to understand offensive value. It's also what is used by the vast majority of front offices in baseball. Things evolve and the more statcast data we have the better we can determine a players true value.
If we win the division again against two teams with substantially larger payrolls
Wash is at 160 million
Philly is at 155 million.
After Keuchel we're around 130-135 then yes, AA will have been a damn good competent GM. Plus he's already signed Albies and Acuna for way way way below their real market value.
