Josh Donaldson: First Round No-Brainer

Even though the Toronto Blue Jays have been recently blind to Donaldson's worth, fantasy owners should never be. Two weeks ago, the Jays decided to go to arbitration with last year's 2015 American League Most Valuable Player, and will negotiate with their third baseman over a small, baseball-sum, of $450,000. Despite the complications, Donaldson is a first round pick in any draft, and is the top ranked third baseman in fantasy.

Baltimore Orioles fans might have something to say about that, but Manny Machado has not been as consistent as Donaldson over the past couple of years. Donaldson's power numbers have continued to jump, increasing his home run total from 24 in 2013, to 29 in 2014, to a bloated 41 in his MVP campaign last season. It will be difficult to duplicate his breakout year, which also consisted of 123 runs batted in and 122 runs scored, but Donaldson should have no problem producing similarly in 2016 as he will again benefit from hitting in the heart of Toronto's formidable batting order. In 2015, Donaldson's Wins Above Replacement was the third highest out of any position player, behind only Bryce Harper and Mike Trout.
