Dave Duncan Likely Leaving STL
"Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan may leave the organization after the year.
Duncan is upset at the perceived handling of his son, Chris Duncan, by both the Cardinals media and front office. Tony LaRussa's right-hand man since 1983 has also lost influence with the front office, no longer being consulted on decisions and not seeing his philosophy mesh with the minor league philosophy. Duncan insists any decision will come in the off-season and be a professional, not personal decision. Color us skeptical. Duncan is possibly the best pitching coach in the game now that Leo Mazzone has retired. He won't have trouble finding a job. It would be a blow to the Cardinals' future as fantasy owners would no longer be able to pick up Cardinal pitchers and see them morph into world-beaters on a regular basis. Source: St Louis Post-Dispatch" If there was ever a coach I would toss millions of dollars at....it's this guy.

Re: Dave Duncan Likely Leaving STL
I would love to see Duncan join the Reds but he would bring a sense of logic to the team that would go directly against some of toothpick's ideas.

Re: Dave Duncan Likely Leaving STL
I always thought it was kind of strange for them to "dump" his son the way they did. He's certainly good enough to keep around just to appease his father. Who, by the way, must have some sort of deal with the devil. I'm completely convinced. Because there is just no rational explanation for Dave Duncan to do what he does with his pitching staff. That guy is simply amazing.

Please let this "association" of Castellini's reach out and snatch Duncan. I could almost live with Dusty if we had Duncan. |

Re: Dave Duncan Likely Leaving STL
Dave Duncan is to the Cardinals pitching staff what Dick LeBeau is to the Steelers defense. Without them, they are not NEARLY as good...

Re: Dave Duncan Likely Leaving STL
You know there's a darn good chance that the Cards could win the WS. I could see them both leaving if that happens. Larussa to retire and Duncan to the Reds! I don't want Larussa, but Duncan would be just fine by me, and we could always pick up his kid at a 5th outfielder to sweeten the deal.
How old is Duncan? |
