Elijah Dukes

FOX Sports - MLB - Howard making strong case for MVP: "The Devil Rays aren't giving up on outfield prospect Elijah Dukes, whom they suspended indefinitely on Aug. 1.
'We are still very much behind Elijah,' Rays executive vice-president Andrew Friedman says. 'We've had a lot of discussions with him the last couple of weeks that have been very encouraging. We expect for him to play winter ball this off-season and come into camp next year with a chance to win a job.' ..."

That can't be anything but posturing for the off-seaosn trade market.

There is nowhere for Dukes to play and he is clearly unchallenged at AAA.

I'd hope the new ownership doesn't allow its assets to decay the way the previous one did.
