Evaluating trades is a lot like grading an NFL draft. Especially when your team is getting bus riders and/or fledgling big leaguers in return.
Ask me about the Reds trade of J. Cueto for 3 non-entities, I can talk all day. Ditto the unfortunate swap of A. Chapman and the absolute steal for E. Suarez. Duvall for 2 pitchers and a position guy?
No idea.
They got pitching depth, which is different from pitching quality. They gave up an OF who finished 4th for 3 spots. Duvall actually has better power numbers than Hamilton, Schebler and Winker, and he’s better defensively than Schebler and Winker.
