    Josh Donaldson

    Almost halfway through the season he is on pace for a 4 WAR year. Being paid the going rate for 3 WAR. On top of that it is a one year deal with all the advantages of financial flexibity and risk control that this entails. Plus we can give him a QO at the end of the season.

    Signing him was a nice piece of business.

    And it wouldn't be a disaster if he accepted the QO. Love having him here. I think he brings a bit of attitude that the Braves have always been short on.

    If he accepts it we have another one year deal at a reasonable price. If he doesn't we get a draft pick. I'm good with either scenario.

    Gives us another bridge in LF until both Pache/Waters are ready as well.

    Not a bad move by AA.

    I would probably * the pace. His bat was not what it can be for most of this year. I think there is room for more now.

    I say a bridge in RF or sign Markakis another season with a platoon mate like an Adam Jones and we'll be cool

    Thread title is misleading. Hoped this was an update on his suspension. Guess we’ll know more later.

    Wasn’t it just a week or so ago that some on here were calling signing JD a waste of money since he wasn’t producing RBIs like a cleanup hitter should??? Amazing lol

    I think it’s a little premature to talk about a QO for JD as a certainty, but if he ends the year healthy with an OPS of .850+ it probably makes sense.

    Then if that is the case, Riley need some coaches for him to play LF fully and not take bad routes.

    I played left but I had Steve Finley in center and you know how good he was when we played together, but Ronald is not the best center fielder out there and Riley is just learning.
