Braves Planning To Hit Josh Donaldson Second In Order
6 years agoThe Atlanta Braves are currently planning to hit third baseman Josh Donaldson in the second spot in the batting order in 2019, with first baseman Freddie Freeman hitting third and outfielder Ronald Acuna either leadoff or cleanup. Second baseman Ozzie Albies and center fielder Ender Inciarte are options for the leadoff spot as well. Donaldson has bounce-back potential if he can stay healthy for a rising Braves team next season. He played in just 52 games with Toronto and Cleveland last season due to a lingering calf injury, but Donaldson is just a year removed from 33 homers and 78 RBI and won the American League MVP as recently as 2015.
