Chris Duncan: Rookie of the Year?

[redsrbetter]

with a .337 BA and 14 HR to his credit, this guys young career has taken off. A prized replacement for the loss of Sanders this year as his bat and presence in the lineup may be in line with Edmonds past. Is this just a fluke season, or does this guy have a legitimate shot at the ROY and to have a superstar type careeer?

Rookie of the Year is definately within his sights. I doubt he has the chance to be a superstar player though, the book on him has always been solid hitter, below average D.

I think think he projects as an average regular/pinch hitter. Think Todd Hollandsworth-ish. No arguing with what he's done so far this year, though.

Duncan should not even be considered for ROY, he simply doesn't have the innings under his belt. Zimmerman, Uggla, Fielder have all been there all season. Duncan to me is DH material since he is piss poor in the field as Wilton mentioned. The guy has a powerful swing and when he gets into to one, its a moonshot. He is definitely going to be in the lineup in '07.

DH? Pinch hitter? You guys don't think he will start in the outfield for these Cardinals next season?

I think there is a very good chance of that happening since their main need is pitching. Duncan cost next to nothing so they can go out and get some pitching and possibly another CFer if they don't reach a new deal with Edmonds.

Josh Johnson and Dan Uggla for prez.
