I just noticed Donaldson is already at 3 WAR for this season (about 400PA), since 2013 he's averaging over 5 WAR per season and we somehow managed to trade him when he only put up 1.3 WAR.
Say what you will about Shatkins and their professional structure vs. AA the cowboy, Shatkins handle on players and trades has been a disaster.
It's like the common say about Communism, you can't make everyone rich but you can make everyone poor. Instead of hitting gold sometimes, they seem to strike out all the time.
