Duquette Speaks

[weams]

"It's important to have good players, like pitchers. You need a few of them."

[weams]

"Well I think it is important to have a good team this year and every year."

[25 Nuggets]

Talking up Despaigne. Compares him to El Duque. Impressed by his recognition of the Orioles when he was a kid in Cuba.

Forgot Rickard's name... don't know if that means anything.

"Kim by trade is a left fielder."

Chris Jones, T.J. McFarland could both be a left-handed starter for the club.

Buck up next.

"I can tell you that we are trying to upgrade our pitching staff. Gallardo has been a good pitcher. He's been very dependable. Ubaldo Jimenez has been very dependable. We have been trying to upgrade our pitching staff all winter and we are still working on it."

Dependable.

Was he dependable when the O's demoted him to the bullpen? How about when they left him off the playoff roster?

Dan, the word you are looking for is mediocre, not dependable.

Dependably mediocre?

[Can_of_corn]

Dependably mediocre?

Not even that, he has streaks of being really good or really bad.

However, like Gallardo, you can depend on a lot of walks.

[weams]

Dependable?

Relatively healthy.

Buck

"Kim is in Sarasota, getting acclimated to things. He comes from a totally different time zone.... You're gonna like this guy."
