Duquette interview on WEEI

[BarclaySouthway]

Markakis is not a hit. Not now anyway. He looked like one when we gave him $66 mil. Now he is an average outfielder. It's really not that hard to understand if you take off the cindyluvsbrady goggles.

Lol. I agree with you for the most part. He is an above average defensive RFer, I have said that all along although some actually argue that. IMO, there is no question that he is a superior defensive RFer. Offensively, he is a below average RFer for the last three years. Overall then, I have to say that he is an average RFer, who is not worth the money going forward unless he can start to produce with the bat at a much higher level than we have seen recently. I think that he is capable of much better. I think he is supremely talented. But he will have to do much more in the offseason than sit in a tree stand if he ever wants to live up to his promise.
