Dave Duncan
Bernie Miklasz, St Louis Post Dispatch:

The contract of Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan expires after the season. Will he return? Cardinals management would be making a big mistake to assume it's automatic

Duncan will be there as long as LaRussa is the manager.

Yup. Unless LaRussa gets fired this offseason, Dunk ain't going anywhere.

Nah. If Larussa or Duncan were available and Bob could afford them, they'd be here in a heartbeat. Dusty was the consolation prize. That's pretty much public knowledge.

You are great under valuing kitty litter. Did you mean 'used' kitty litter?

They are package deal, LaRussa lost the White Sox job because Hawk Harrelson hired his guy and fired Duncan.

LaRussa has a contract for next season, which he can be forced to honor, even if they don't re-up Duncan.

In any case, I don't see any reason why St. Louis won't offer him a new contract. They'd be stupid to let him go.

They guy is simply the best there is. You let him go.... you have problems.

I say stink, you say stunk... in the end this club is in trouble. Duncan would at least have some fun working with Volquez and Cueto.

If Duncan doesn't come back to the Cards I would bet Larussa will "retire" than to comeback without his right arm (Duncan).

Re: Dave Duncan
Forget about Duncan.

Go after Mazzone. Walt of all people should know the value of an elite pitching coach.
