Crawdad Chronicles 57.02 - Donestavez Breaks Milestone(s)

[JimBob2232]

2500 hits.
400 home runs.
550 stolen bases,

Hitting one of those milestones is huge. Hitting all 3 of them in the same season is pretty incredible.

Donestavez is a 2 time Sawyer Silk winner, and a future hall of famer. I think few would doubt that. A part of the fames 2038 draft class (15th overall), the 36 year old Donestavez has now spent 15 years with the crawdads. Along with the 2 Saywer Silks, his trophy case consists of 2 Yogi's, 4 Pucketts, a pair of Gegohgan round MVPs, One Landis trophy, and 9 all star appearances.

Donestavez is a free agent after this season. He has been a mainstay in new orleans for quite some time...but it remains to be seen if he will sign a short term deal to stick with the crawdads after this season, or if he will desire to test free agency and collect one final big paycheck.

Of course, he has to stay healthy. He had a 5 year stretch where he didnt play more than 125 games, and is rated "Fragile:" by the injury raters....however in the last 3 seasons he has not missed any time except for standard rest.

Either way, a plaque on the Wall of Fame in the Commanders Palace is expected once he finally hangs up the cleats.

Future Hall of Famer.

And he's still kicking. A really great player. Under-appreciated probably.

I like watching what decisions New Orleans makes and this is a big one.

Not in the big easy!
