Zach Duke

[Gerk]

Will he be the NL breakout pitcher of the year?

Has the talent. I had to put Webb on the DL and picked him up today and threw him in the lineup and he got me 114 points

OK, that's the real reason I started the thread

Still think he's going to be good though

[Dr. Jack]

Man he has been hyped for so long and everyone gave up on him. I need to see him do it again to start to believe

[ConstantColorUpor]

People have said he was going to be the break through pitcher 2 straight years and each year I say this is Duke's year, well ya know what, this is Duke's year!

[Gerk]

He has been hyped, no question, but I do like his demeanor on the mound. I think he goes out there with a gameplan, rather than alot of younger pitchers

We will see with him, but think he has a chance to be very good

[THE_ROOKIEEE]

He Is A Solid Lefty If He Gets Run Support Which Has Always Been The Problem In Pittsburg When He Starts..... Is Pretty Dominant On Windy Days When That #2 Pitch Works Wonders But On The Bad Side This Has Been Said For The Past Couple Years And Untill He Leaves Pitty He Will Be Just Another Almost Breakout Pitcher That People Talk About Year After Year...... But To Replace A Brandon Webb In Fantasy Ranks, You Might Want To Look To Trade For A Quality #1 Or #2

he's too inconsistent

i think the breakout pitcher will come from the same team though....paul maholm

It's Maholm's year.

pretty good 2nd half last year. had an excellent spring. and so far he's been unhittable this year. i think he finally lives up to expectations.

maholm a 1st round draft pick. duke was drafted in the 20th rd so it's not like he's an elite prospect...he just had a good rookie year.

if they could just get rid of ian snell.

i had zach duke a couple years in fantasy and he was awful.

im seeing alot of big name pitchers getting shelled and alot of unknowns doing real well.

royals staff
duke
josh johnson isnt an unkown but....
washburn
etc...

pitchers from WBC not looking good either

oswalt

lol Zach Duke is garbage.......anyone starting this guy on a consistent basis is asking for trouble.

PEACE

[The Nac]

I think ppl need to keep their eyes on Jason Marquis. Pitching well to start.

[Gerk]

After last night's performance, he is looking like a Top 5 Cy Young contender

Now #7 in NL ERA and maybe even more important, #1 in NL in innings pitched which has a trickle down effect.

We project a final record of 17-11 with a 3.32 ERA

[Gerk]

In the CappersMall World Series and needed to pick up a pitcher as Gallardo was shut down for the year

Who did I turn to as a two start pitcher? My old friend Zach Duke and what did he get Gerk today

100 points


Best part is my opponent referred to him as garbage in the same thread.

Long live the Duke

[MCP313]

Im looking forward to his next start
