This is apples vs grapes.

What is the price to get Donavan? He appears to be several teams in on him. Vs how much is Yandy, Lowe, or Ketel.

What do we know about Polo’s health trajectory. He proved he could hit here last year and toward the end of the year he was the 1’ 2B. Is he fully recovered and projected to be able to man 2B mainly in 2026. How many years and at how much $.

So what has Brandon Donovan done to make you confident that he wouldn-t struggle to hit at T-Mobile like 90% of veteran players that sign here?
Nothing pol was a 2nd baseman. Polanco is a 2nd base guy only in name. He is a DH now and occasional 2nd

I didn't include Marte in this questionnaire, because I feel like we all would prefer Marte. But between Donovan or Polo, who you got?
I think that you might have had more peeps chiming in if you had made this a more robust poll. Polonco or Donovan, while probably accurate, is a bit anemic. For me, I would much rather see Young win the 2nd base job, pushing Polonco into the DH position. Donovan might be an interesting player for the M's, but the cost will be prohibitive. We'll see where the market goes for Donovan as we get closer to ST.

Well, Cole would need to grow out that mustache a bit more for me to think he's ready to start games in the Majors full time.
