In real life Duke has been excellent the last three seasons for the Brewers and White Sox, putting up a 2.87 ERA with 182 strikeouts over 157 relief innings. He's good against right-handed batters, too, so he doesn't have to be limited to a specialist role. In the SIM/IBC so far this year the lefty is 5-0 with a 2.39 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 30/9 K/BB in 26.1 IP (22 games) for a sub-.500 team playing home games in a "hitter's park". Based on his real life numbers he should continue to SIM well in the IBC again in 2017!
Could be a useful piece for a contending team's bullpen for the remainder of the season and in the playoffs. Looking for a decent younger player and not expecting a top prospect in return ...
