    I must admit they don't give out trophies for that either.

    Last time I checked I get nothing for making projections, so I didn't stop the dog when he wanted to eat my homework.

    what do you get for anything you post here? do you get something for things other than projections?
    i promise you projections get far closer than you ever could. about pretty much anything.

    you seem to think you know more than a lot of people, and know more than projection models, but your track record strongly disagrees with what you think.

    I swear....

    You seem to have a fascination with people getting trophies so I think that we should all chip in and send you a trophy every time you make a good, coherent point. I'm a big believer in positive reinforcement.

    You seem blind to all the commentary that says, essentially, "Donaldson was healthy at the end of the season with Cleveland." It was a pretty good little run.

    He was "healthy" prior to the last two seasons as well. It's an absolutely understandable gamble - you have to roll the dice when you can get that kind of talent, and I'm thrilled he's a Brave - but at his age his health is no less a gamble than Brantley's or Pollock's after missing huge chunks of time recently.

    Why is tempering expectations for Donaldson different than lowering expectations for the other two - or Bumgarner for that matter? Not expecting any of that group to perform at peak levels like they did in their primes is certainly reasonable IMO. Should we really expect better results from Donaldson simply because he's a Brave and was the one AA was willing to gamble on staying healthy?

    Position player injuries scare me far less than pitchers. Josh was a work horse until 2017. Then two different injuries sidelined him. Only reason I would worry about josh is that he is 33. He needs to start about 130 games or less.
