FACTS/FLUKES: Donaldson, J. Montgomery, Dahl, J. Romano, W. Castro

Donaldson a more risky play with age ... The 2019 season proved to be quite productive for Josh Donaldson (3B, MIN), as he amassed 37 HR, 96 R and 94 RBI in route to a $20 season. Unfortunately, 2020 didn't go as swimmingly. A right calf injury sidelined him for nearly a month, and when it was all said and done, the 35-year-old posted 6 HR in 102 PA; netting $4 in R$. The 2021 Baseball Forecaster tagged Donaldson with a "D" Health rating, and age isn't on his side; but with an ADP (per NFBC) just inside the Top-200, has the hesitancy gone too far?
