Dave Duncan Last Quotations

Shows you how talented he is. Last year he won 15 games ... re-establishing himself,

He's just trying to do too much. Is it because he goes 4-5 (in his last nine starts before the game)? Somewhere in there you do something different, and if you get off your game it's easy to talk about and not easy to get back on it. He needs to get back on his game.

If I remember correctly, we had some questions leaving camp last year. No matter how good you are - and we have to prove we're good - there are going to be questions.

I thought last year was a miraculous year for him. And he definitely earned my respect last year as to what kind of pitcher he was, what kind of person he was, what kind of competitor he was.

Unfortunately, the toughest competition comes the last two weeks of spring, and I'm not sure where we're going to be (with the starters). It would be nice to be able to see them all in the toughest competition of spring. Will we be able to? I'm not sure yet.

The way we've played the last three months hasn't been up to our capabilities, ... We have higher expectations with the players we have. We should be performing better.

I know the last couple of weeks we hadn't pitched as well as we're capable of pitching,

I'm seeing Mulder exactly the same way I saw him last spring. Location-wise, he's kind of all over the place. But his stuff is a little better than it was.

You can't even compare this starting rotation to last year. There's so much more depth this year.
