Donaldson on Blue Jays' struggles: 'They're going to find people who are going to get it done'

Josh Donaldson is doing his job.

Since arriving in Toronto this winter, the 29-year-old has thoroughly endeared himself to the Blue Jays, posting a .913 OPS through his first 38 games with his new team and performing at a high level on a nightly basis.

The same can't be said, however, of many of his teammates.

Following his club's fourth straight loss Saturday in Houston, the frustrated third baseman suggested changes may be looming for a team that continues to lose games despite fielding the most prolific offense in the majors.

"I can only control what I do, the guys beside me can only control what they do, it's really just about going out there and getting the job done," Donaldson told reporters. "This isn't the try league, this is the get it done league. Eventually they're going to find people who are going to get it done."

Donaldson used measured language as he assessed his team's recent skid, refusing to call out any specific individuals, but the former All-Star also emphasized that the results of late have been unacceptable.

"It's difficult right now just for the sheer fact that we're really not beating ourselves, per se, we're not making errors, we're not making a whole lot of miscues, we're just going out there and getting beat," said Donaldson. "I think at the end of the day, that's what makes it a little bit more frustrating."

Most of the blame for Toronto's lack of success in 2015, though, lies squarely on the shoulders of an ineffective pitching staff. The rotation has been dreadful through the nascent stages of the season - the Blue Jays' starting corps ranks second-last in the majors in ERA - while the bullpen's 19 meltdowns are tied for fourth-worst in the American League.
