I’ve noted a lack of content a lot this month but this is the most sparse Friday yet. Then again, I suppose this won’t get any better in the offseason.
Even though he is already 21, the Royals think that Duarte has a solid future and could possibly end up in a rotation. Duarte could also end up as a solid option out of the bullpen. I think he’ll open next season at Lexington before moving up to Wilmington and possibly NWA by the end of the year. I hope he gets a chance to start so we can see if he can be a viable starting pitcher but this will slow his movement though the system.
