Thanks father. You have educated me on the topic of baseball morals. I sure hope this young thug never wears a Cubs uniform. It doesn't pertain just to this and it really doesn't matter, but out of curiosity, how old are you? Why do you care? Fishing for a date? Grow up Thanks for the heart to heart chat Badger. Does anyone wanna talk baseball in this thread btw? This is really interesting because Tampa appears willing to give away Dukes for next to nothing. He isn't going to hit .190 for the rest of the season, and once his avg climbs to around 260-270, he will easily post an OPS of .850, if not better. Opportunites to get a young player with this ceiling for so low really don't come around too often. Since 2003 he has really cut down on his strikeouts as well. He had a 370 career OBP in the minors, and posted .401 at Durham last season. To me this seems like just the guy the Cubs need to go after. He is a thug though, too bad.
