Episode Details

Cardinals fans went at us in the comments after we said Brendan Donovan deserves more respect nationally. Then MLB’s own fan vote ranked him 8th among second basemen, while analytics based rankings have him closer to top five. So what’s the real story, is Donovan being underrated, or are people just not watching closely enough?

In this episode, Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer break down why Donovan’s value doesn’t always pop in highlight clips, but shows up when you look at wins, versatility, and the kind of at-bats that keep a lineup moving. We also react to the backlash from Monday’s episode and explain why the “overrated” label doesn’t match what the numbers and the eye test say.
