Just When You Thought It Was Safe...
Elijah Dukes to the Nats for the well-traveled PTNBL, according to multiple sources.
Not sure how I feel about this one. Obviously the kid has talent, but it's all clouded by the character issues. I'll reserve judgement until I find out who the PTNBL was.
I would guess that the publicized JimBo/Meathook meeting in Tampa with Dukes was something akin to the one JimBo & Co. had with Dmitri last year, e.g. "we want you to be a part of the team and we will give you an opportunity to succeed, but if you screw up, it's adios, jefe."
UPDATE: The PTBNL is LHP Glenn Gibson. Chris has all the details over at CP.
