When Duda is aggressive, he shows what he can be: a feared and dynamic slugger. Keep up the aggression, Lucas.
ReplyDeleteThe other day I mentioned being wrong about Granderson at leadoff. It didn't make me crazy, but I had doubts, concerns. I thought they had possibly diminished his value when, in fact, the opposite was true.
ReplyDeleteAnother guy I've been wrong about: Bartolo. I didn't like the contract, didn't feel it was good resource management. But he did the job for two years, incredibly healthy, a solid #5 guy and a veteran presence.
Entering an NLDS where it's easy to imagine low-scoring, extra inning games, Colon could end up becoming the key to the series coming out of the pen and able to give them length.
