I think he'll be well above average at 1B, too, but I do have a huge mancrush on him. He reminds me of Sheffield so much, it's scary. I think he's got 35 HR potential, with very good AVG/OBP numbers, similar to David Wright, who everyone considers to be well above average.

Duncan should be so lucky to "only" have a Jim Thome career. That would not include "20-30 HR" a year...more like 40 a year.
Duncan is not in Thome's league.
I know, when would a career like Thome's ever be associated with a Bust?
I meant a Jim Thome type of hitter but avg of like 20-30 hrs in his best years tho... with a .260-.270 avg in his best years... with tons of Ks on the side. I wasn't saying that he was going to be a 40-50hr guy

So in other words, hes not going to be like Thome at all because the numbers will be completely different...I don't think you know what you're trying to say here.
Jose Hernandez sounds like a guy you are describing btw, and although I don't particularly like Duncan I would bet a good chunk that he will be better then Hernandez .
Sean Tracey has my apologies, we all know Ozzie Guillen is an idiot. I'm rooting for you!

A 20-30hr Jim Thome type player... take it for what its worth

So he's a thome player with less power?
then hes a different player. I'm sure there are comparisons that are made that can be right on in terms of what you wish to xpress.
