LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2001 World Showcase
Dukes had to leave after the workout portion. He is every bit a man among boys. He is a plus runner who we have seen sparkle in the outfield. Perhaps the biggest problem is whether or not he has centerfield speed or if he projects strictly as a left fielder. He does not project at all as a right fielder due to a average at best arm. He threw poorly in Ft Myers because he had not touched a baseball for awhile. He showed us a playable CF arm earlier in the year. He did not disappoint in BP, where he showed a fast bat and hit several rockets. He projects to hit with plus power. Dukes is also a top football prospect, it will be interesting to see what happens in June for this outstanding, big, athlete..
