The New York Yankees are planning to start Josh Donaldson at third base in 2023, despite disappointing results from the same plan in 2022. With Spring Training getting started, we are getting our first glimpse of how these teams plan to attack the regular season. With so much pressure on the Yankees to win and win big this upcoming season, fans were hoping for better than more of the same.Josh Donaldson hit for a batting average of just .222 and had 15 home runs last season. Both numbers are well off the mark that he was expected to reach when the team acquired him. His defensive play was solid and is not at all why fans have an issue with his role on the team.Bryan Hoch shared the Yankees' updated plan for their roster on Twitter.Bryan Hoch@BryanHochGleyber Torres is envisioned as the #Yankees' starting second baseman, Aaron Boone said.

Thus far, that deal has not paid off the way the New York Yankees expected them to. They hoped they were getting the MVP-caliber star he was with the Toronto Blue Jays, not an offensive liability.G A V@gavittamThis organization is an absolute joke. twitter.com/BryanHoch/stat…Bryan Hoch@BryanHochGleyber Torres is envisioned as the #Yankees' starting second baseman, Aaron Boone said.

That is the only goal that the fanbase truly cares about. Considering the team's starpower, featuring Aaron Judge, Gerrit Cole and Giancarlo Stanton, they are expected to dominate. So if Josh Donaldson is viewed as a weakness, not a strength, fans will make their voices heard.Trey@TreyyerT13@BryanHoch Start DJ at 3B wtf1@BryanHoch Start DJ at 3B wtfamper0627@amper0627@BryanHoch Josh Donaldson58@BryanHoch Josh Donaldson https://t.co/h71GGl8YsJjets ruin my life@Kidd266@BryanHoch Fire Aaron Boone1@BryanHoch Fire Aaron BooneThe big question heading into 2023 is whether Donaldson can turn things around. If he is able to, the New York Yankees will be a force to be reckoned with in the MLB. If not, they could have the same up-and-down season that they had in 2022. Ultimately, this is what fans are nervous about.Marguerite Allard@MarYRSNYC@BryanHoch Donaldson to the A's or the moon1@BryanHoch Donaldson to the A's or the moonVin 🎱 (no longer misses the New York Rangers)@AdamFoxYaMotha@BryanHoch Tell Donaldson to go home@BryanHoch Tell Donaldson to go homeMarcus@cevit0This team is fuckin doomed.

The team will likely not tolerate a similar offensive output as last season. Considering his veteran experience, he does have the chance to be the player we all remember.A team is only as good as their worst player, a title Donaldson needs to avoid in 2023.
