True, but never underestimate Dave Duncan's ability to shine a turd. Duncan couldn't do much with him last year. 34 IP, 7.41 ERA, 13/22 K/BB, 1.88 WHIP, 5 HR, .919 OPS against yeah his minor league numbers give no indication that he can be an adequate major league pitcher. 1.39 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 IP, 7 K/9 IP, worse than a hit per inning. everything about him screams "mediocre arm."
