The Official "Please Acquire Elijah Dukes" Thread


TheHolyBovine

Recommended Posts

Trade for Elijah Dukes, who has lost his job in Washington. He can play a capable CF.

 

Is he a lead-off man? No, but he's a legitimate MLB player with upside.

 

Wouldn't take a heck of a lot to acquire him at this point...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Actually, scratch this idea. KW wouldn't be interested.

 

Dukes has amazing talent, power, and patience. He's not a grindy hack.

Nothing personal, but you know not what you speak of. Seriously.

 

Dukes runs rings around the organization's current OF prospects, and it's not close.

 

im gonna have to go ahead and agree with you here. dukes has an extremely high upside.

No offense... but no thanks.

He's an orange jumpsuit waiting to happen.

I would never want someone like him playing for my favorite team.

Loser with a capital "L".

Steve's Fantasy Sports advice strikes again.

 

Care to tell me where I'm wrong?

 

You know the Nationals have about 7 OFers on their roster, right?

 

We need a CFer, right?

 

It wouldn't hurt to give them a call.

 

Hell, Willie Harris would be a HUGE upgrade over what we currently have.

If Nick Swisher and Orlando Cabrera can't survive in the Sox clubhouse, then how does anyone think Dukes could? The Sox have a very quiet persona in the clubhouse, and bringing in a trainwreck waiting to happen won't help.

 

He's been completely restrained and calm in Washington, and has performed very well when given the opportunity.

 

He didn't lose his job because of attitude issues; he lost it because the Nationals have their heads up their asses.

 

Isn't it possible that he's matured? If maturity happened to Milton Bradley, it can happen to anyone.

I kinda like this... he'd be a monster in the field. And our guys might rub off on him.

 

He's not 'immature'. He's not a borderline bad guy.

 

He's a psychopath who took pictures a gun with his cellphone and text messaged them to his ex explaining how he was going to kill her.

 

No.... just no!!!!!

I was commenting on Steve9347 and his bad fantasy picks. He had Dukes starting for Washington this year.

Well, can we at least agree that we should be talking to them about Willie Harris? :gosoxretro:

 

If you want OBP at the top of the order, then there you go.
