Enough of Donaldson



Can we please give Josh Donaldson a permanent seat on the bench? Taking a HR trot on a ball that didn't go out and getting thrown out at second is bush league nonsense. His fielding is getting worse by the day as well.

Volpe is tearing it up in AAA in his brief stay there. We need to bring him up. Since we are not going to release Donaldson, perhaps we can live without Locastro. Then move IKF to third, where he won a gold glove, and let Volpe and Peraza take some shots at ss and 2B. Cabrera, who has stopped hitting, is going to still be needed in the of. Maybe we should stick him in LF, so we can keep Judge in RF. Florial can play center for awhile, with Hicks available in an emergency.

In any event, the lineup is Aaron Judge and 8 guys named Moe. Keep moving them around until we find a combination that works.

The pitching is holding up, but we can't have the bullpen throw 4 innings every day,

With Rizzo still out with his back, the issue of why he wasn't on the IL is apparent. We now have a 28-man roster with Stanton, Rizzo, and LeMahieu in some form of suspended animation. Stanton has been useless since his first trip to the IL months ago.

This team needs some fundamental changes this off-season.
