Dave Duncan is a man's man. He has cured the world of illness, brought global and universal peace, saved the United States economy and rescued kitties from trees.
OK, he hasn't done any of that. But by some of the things people are writing about him, you would be surprised to hear that he has yet to accomplish any of those things. For what it's worth, Duncan is an excellent pitching coach -- so much so that some say that he would be a first-ballot Hall of Famer if there was such a distinction for pitching coaches.
The much-maligned (and deservedly so) David Kaplan and the well-respected Bob Verdi have both made the pitch for the new Cubs regime to bring Duncan to cure what ails the Cubs' pitching staff.
But is it worth it?
