It’s a great collection. I wish I had space for it. And yup. He was a big guy in every way. You’ve probably heard his heckles

Hey All, Not sure if this is appropriate to post here so apologies if not. A long time buddy of mine passed away recently and I'm trying to raise money for his wife by selling his collection. He had over 100 autographed balls from recent Jays to rookies and also a bunch of old gems - Rickey Henderson, Dave Winfield, Dave Stieb etc. Many of them COA. Official first pitch and first hit of 2016 balls (Archer to Pillar in Tampa). There are a few signed bats, caps, a framed signed Donaldson jersey and a framed signed Martin jersey, baseball cards, tons of miscellaneous stuff. If you're interested DM me and I can send a list. I've been offered some lowball numbers for the collection (yeah I know it's a bad time to sell). But if I have to let items go for Donaldson-esque trade value numbers, I'd rather they get into the hands of real fans like us. ALSO: I'm looking for a serious fan who can fit into 4XL or 5XL jerseys and T-shirts. And/or takes a size 8 hat. I don't expect to sell these - I just want to find them a good home... Cheers Mark

Hello all. New to the forum. Go gentle. Barker makes an interesting point. You need someone to hit behind Vladdy that's got a similarly fearsome bat. Like the Acuna/Freeman twin-bill for the Braves. Otherwise the rookie's not going to get pitched to, and could be prone to swinging at pitches he shouldn't to avoid the constant walks. That said, one of Vladdy's strengths is how selective he is. So who is that for the Jays? It's an argument to keep Donaldson around for another year...
