Utterly idiotic.
Donaldson is 62% better than league average and creates 30% more runs than Moustakas. He has twice the isolated power, and is hitting for the same average despite a BABIP that is 15 points lower than Moustakas' unsustainable .344 (and it's unsustainable due to the increase in his GB rate).
The offensive difference between Donaldson and Moustakas is equivalent to the offensive difference between Moustakas and Brett Lawrie.
