Yeah, park affect, it's brutal on just about every player they bring in. But you feel it be more brutal on Donovan? That was basically my concern with Luis Arráez.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2026 2:20 am[quoteWe'll see what Donovans numbers look like after his park actually gets adjusted.

That's a really fair point. Not much separates Donovan and Arraez other than believing one is what he is, with some backwards regression to be expected, and the other is a guy who put up pretty decent numbers in San Diego and Florida's cavernous park that I believe transfer to T-Mobile well
Brendan Ryan did it in St. Louis. (Oops, Donovan)
I wasnt a fan of giving up the prospects when what I felt was a better player was available in free agency.
Arraez is Ichiro minus the speed.
Donovan is JP Crawford minus the dreads.
