Can the haters please hush up about Chris Duncan? Finally healthy, the big dude has reemerged as a substantial plus in the Cardinals' offense. Among National League outfielders who have at least 100 plate appearances this season, Duncan ranks in the top 15 in RBIs, on-base percentage and slugging. He's 12 for 30 (. 400) with runners in scoring position. He's eight for 17 with runners in scoring position and two out. When Duncan drives in a run in a game this season, the Cardinals are 11-3.

I guess my first blog did not take, so I'll say it again. As a truly loyal fan of Chris Duncan since his debut for the Cards, I have seen a future great player in progress. I know he's made mistakes (many times I literally cry when he does), but the potential is there.
ReplyDeleteTo his detractors I say, for someone who is post major cervical spine surgery, I think he's doing the best he can right now. He's a very hard worker who needs to be given credit for his efforts.
