from mlb trade rumors
Dukes, 25, hit .250/.337/.393 in 416 plate appearances last year, playing a below-average right and center field (according to UZR). He also played 22 games in the minors. Dukes has avoided off-the-field problems since Jim Bowden acquired him from the Rays in December of '07, with a June '08 dugout confrontation with Manny Acta probably his worst offense. Just a couple of weeks ago Goessling noted that the Nationals had "taken the reins off Dukes -- letting his personal adviser go and allowing him more freedom with the media."
I have a question:
Marquis, a sinker baller pitcher, how well will be perform having three below average defensive infielders (Zimmerman is basically the only good one) until Desmond joins.
Will Marquis get wins?
