How about Zach Duke?

By Michael Belanger

Man what a frustrating outing for Zach Duke, he was simply amazing tonight in the 0-1 loss against the Giants. Duke pitched 7 shutout innings, Allowed 6 hits and walked 1 batter.

This 26 year old left handed pitcher is defiantly special, currently with a 9-9 record. He has been at the bad end of the string all season long. In 6 of his 9 losses the Pirates have lost by 2 or less runs. Once again tonight his offense couldn’t put runs up on the board. Now that the Pirates are rebuilding there is no one to drive in the runs. For the Giants, Cain was on the mound, he pitched a brilliant game with a complete game shutout allowing 3 hits.

I’ve have been saying that the Marlins should trade for Duke. Which would provide another solid arm to the rotation; no-one seems to agree with me. Duke is turning into a solid arm in the majors, and deserves to win. He’s dropped his ERA to 3.26 tonight, and pitched 147 innings allowing 35 walks this season. I’m just trying to show some shine on this guy because no-one is noticing him.

I’ve heard the braves are looking at him but who ever gets him will defiantly get something in return.
