Return of the Duke


Should we worry about this?

Dan Duquette plays a minor but important role in the Clemens book discussed here, and Jeff Pearlman dubbed his book tour "The Dan Duquette Redemption Tour." He is somewhat critical of the Duke in the book, but sums him up succinctly --
Dan Duquette was right.

Under Duquette, the Sox got Manny, Pedro, and Varitek-- pretty important guys in 2004, as I recall. Now he has an opportunity to build from the bottom up. I think we should worry. A little.
