Elijah Dukes

[Fade2White12]

IMO, Dukes' value in redrafts is far from "crap." According to Mike Rizzo (Nat's GM), "We'll see Elijah Dukes in the big leagues sooner rather than later." He may also get dealt, as everyone other than Dunn and the two Zimmermans are available, or a trade may open up a spot in the Nat's OF. He was doing quite well before he got injured in the middle of May, and just couldn't find his groove again. That's exactly what this demotion is all about. He'll be back and starting this year, and I think relatively soon - either right before or immediately after the trade deadline.

Since demotion... .348 (8 for 23), 3 runs, 3 2B, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 3 BBs, 3 Ks, 2 SB
