    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.
    If you think small, you'll go nowhere in life.

    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.
    It's absolutely pathetic that people can't have an opinion from actually watching games and supplementing that with stats. If you voice an opinion that doesn't fit into a black/white box you will get completely misrepresented and basically called a tobacco chewing traditionalist...

    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.

    Duncan's worth more than 16 year old Latin American OFers, IMO

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

    Forget about Duncan.

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