Same here.
I’m still concerned about team chemistry. With Gyrko out, I don’t think there is an issue with Donaldson playing. What if he is “meh” and Gyrko is healthy? You split time or keep him on the bench, who knows what happens in that locker room. Like DJ said about Murphy, he has a reputation for playing hard. Does Donaldson have that reputation? Would he be happy with a part time role if he’s healthy?
This month watching Cardinals baseball has been fun. I’d hate to have that torpedoed. [Reply]

This is about implied odds. Yeah, the remainder of his salary is high, but he's not going to cost prospects, and if he rounds to form, the potential payoff is enormous.
Thinks of it this way:
There is a raise and a few calls in front of you at a poker table. You're holding suited connectors. You're almost certainly behind when you call, but suited connectors are the kinds of hands that, if the flop hits, can crush big hands preflop because players don't see them coming as there are so many ways for them to hit. The odds of hitting are low, but so is the risk, and the potential payoff is huge. [Reply]
