Lucas Duda

Duda was a guy that I had listed as a sleeper going into
this season. I had him in the 2nd half of last season and was quite happy with the offensive boost that he provided to my team. He started off pretty lukewarm this year but has heated up lately. Coming into today, he had 5 homers and 12 RBIs in the last 15 days and he has now gone deep again today. What do you guys think of Duda? Mediocre option or is this little hot streak a sign of things to come?

I think what you're seeing is who he is. Good power. Lots of Ks but a lot of BB too. He could potentially hit 30/100 HR/RBI but everything would have to fall into place perfectly. I think 25/80 is a reasonable possibility, and I also think he'll start hitting RHP better than he has this season thus far. I'm loving owning him in my 16-teamer.

Yeah I agree with BH...poor man's Jay Bruce is what you should expect in terms of production
