Trade Rumor Spotlight: Zach Duke


Bio:

Left-handed starting pitcher
Born in Clifton, TX

2009 stats: 20 starts, 3 complete games, 9-9, 3.42 E.R.A., 139.1 IP, 74Ks

Has gone at least 6 innings in his last 10 starts and the 9-9 record is impressive considering that he pitches for the Pirates.

The Rangers would have to give up some prospects but I don't believe they would have to give away any top-tier prospects. How about 2 second-level tier prospects and throw in another young prospect.

Duke would immediately be the #3 pitcher (after Millwood and Feldman) and could be a stable in the rotation for years to come.

What do you think of Duke........is he worth it?
