Player Notes
March 10, 2010
Zach Duke gave up three earned runs on four hits over 2.2 innings in tonight's 3-2 preseason loss to the Orioles.

Our View:Duke went 11-16 with an unimpressive 4.06 ERA and 1.31 over 32 starts in 2009, and his fantasy stock remains low following tonight's poor performance.

Zach Duke's 2010 agreement with the Pirates will pay him $4.3 million, making him Pittsburgh's third highest paid player, according to Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Our View:That's not as big of honor as it sounds like, considering the team's two highest paid players are Paul Maholm and Akinori Iwamura. In 32 starts last season, Duke went 11-16 with a 4.06 ERA.
January 19, 2010
Zach Duke has agreed to a one-year deal with the Pirates, avoiding arbitration, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Financial terms of the deal aren't known at this point. Duke is due a raise after making $2.2 million last year.

Our View:Duke was reportedly on the block over the winter and will likely a candidate to be traded during the season. He has one more year arbitration eligibility before becoming a free agent in 2011.
