Scouting Report (Baseball America, 2008 Handbook)
Donald has a short, compact stroke that produces gap power. He draws walks and has slightly above average speed, though he won’t be a basestealing threat. Scouts question his range and arm strength at shortstop, but Donald makes up for his deficiencies with outstanding positioning. The Phillies aren’t completely sold on him staying at shortstop, and he might be better suited as a utility man who can play both middle-infield spots and provide a line drive bat off the bench. He’ll move up to Double A in 2008.
