My Take
Josh Donaldson is exactly the kind of grinder I gravitate toward. A Pensacola kid out of Auburn who clawed his way up to win the 2015 American League MVP, he wore his intensity on his sleeve across thirteen seasons and seven teams. The Bringer of Rain nickname fit perfectly; you could read his competitive fire in every swing and throw at third base. Players who play with that much visible edge can rub people the wrong way, but I respect the all-out commitment. He's the sort of fierce, self-made third baseman whose game I always enjoyed watching.
