If that insults Donaldson then it is time for him to go. This team with all its regulars got off to a 1-9 start. It was with several so-called scrubs that the team started winning. A hot Devon Travis, Justin Smoak and now Jose Bautista had a lot to do with that, so why would someone want to put a rusty Donaldson in the #2 spot over Travis or Bautista. The team can't afford to sink in the standings again.
Gibbons was right in resting Donaldson and Tulowitzki on Saturday for their own protection, hopefully he will be sensible and ease them back into the batting order.
