Donaldson already has a higher WAR than Bautista and is only 7 behind Delgado. Guys certainly left more of a mark wrt how the fans view them and on field team accomplishments, but few compare to his overall impact in such a short amount of time.
I thought you were talking about just the players time with the Jays, not whole careers. If you take JD's 3 best seasons with the Jays and Joey Bats 3 best seasons with the Jays they are like 22 WAR vs. 21 WAR. Halladay's top 3 is around 21 WAR. Delgado is further away at 18.5 WAR. Clemens is at 19 WAR in only 2 seasons!
Obviously making it 4 years hurts JD since he didn't play at all this year. What he does have that others don't is 3 great consecutive years, so I guess if you want to go that route then yes, JD had the best peak of any Blue Jay.
