At this point the most the Yankees are going to receive from Josh Donaldson is a lesson.
Trust what your ears hear and your eyes see.
They watched Donaldson for a season-plus — between IL stints — fail to successfully hit a baseball. They mostly ignored that too. But when it came to Donaldson, there was a disinterest in makeup that has beset the organization recently. For example, the Yankees for years had regularly tried to obtain Joey Gallo and Donaldson, and the word about Gallo’s edginess that might not mix well with New York was as prevalent in the game as Donaldson’s prickliness. Both were ignored — the human intelligence taking a backseat to the spread-sheet possibilities.
Hall was not Bonds, neither was Donaldson. With a great prime-age player, you might close your eyes to an issue. But the Yanks were not only dismissing questions of makeup here, but age , mounting injury history, diminishing batting averages and that he perpetuated the non-athletic, righty-swinging, all-or-nothing similarity of a lineup that kept getting shut down in the playoffs because it was non-athletic, righty-dominant and all-or-nothing.
