elijah dukes is a complete monster...

[Hammer]

6'3", 245, covers a ton of ground in center and has an absurd, absurd amount of raw power. he hit a blast off the facing of the black seats in the opener, and then tonight he hit a laser that didnt get more than 15-20 feet off the ground and got out with authority. definitely every bit as intriguing as delmon should be.

Dukes must be a lot better than I thought he was. I thought he would project as just a prototypical leadoff hitter.

[Hammer]

if i had to give a fair guess... he'll be wily mo pena. a guy who could potentially be the next great ball player, but never really learns to hit off speed pitches. hes still really raw, and combines brilliance with medocrity effortlessly. hes wily mo pena, yea.

That's an exciting young outfield...Crawford, Dukes, Young, and Baldelli in some form if he can stay healthy.

And Jonny Gomes.

I saw that liner in my nightmares last night, goddamn.

This guy is a monster. I would watch out for this could not in the future but now. I have this weird feeling that tells me that he is going to have a couple of 45+ home run seasons. Elijah Dukes=Nightmares

Elijah Dukes has no home runs or RBI in his last 32 at-bats, and is batting .188 during that stretch.
