Elijah Dukes

Minor League Ball :: Elijah Dukes

A soon-to-be 22-year0old in AAA with a .400 OBP and .500 SLG is a top 10 propsect in any book.

Unfortunately, Elijah Dukes has demons that cannot be conquered.

I drafted him in my minor league draft two years ago and root for him to suceed as I do all my draft picks, but my confidence in him making a difference as a major league player is shaken.

If he is the centerpiece of a bail trade this summer, then he will be someone else's headache - a feeling I am sure is felt by the Tampa bay management.
