Newsbreakers
November 21, 2009
The Yankees have outrighted first baseman Shelley Duncan from Triple-A.
Our View:
Duncan has been outrighted twice by the Yankees now and will become a free agent. He has shown that he has plenty of pop in his bat, so expect some teams to show legitimate interest (dad, Dave, is in St. Louis), but he has struggled with consistency in his career. Wherever he winds up, he likely won't have any fantasy value.
September 18, 2009
MLB.com is reporting that Shelley Duncan is appealing his three-game suspension that was handed down by the league. No date has been set for the appeal at this time.
Our View:
The way these appeals work, Duncan will likely be able to play for most, if not all, of the rest of the season. There hasn't been a date set for the appeal, and these things can take weeks before they are resolved.
September 12, 2009
Shelley Duncan is serving as the Yankees' DH for their Saturday afternoon game against the Orioles. Duncan hit 30 homers and drove in 99 runs in Triple-A this season.
Our View:
Duncan was one of the better hitters in the minors this season, and he provides the Yanks with yet another power threat in their already loaded lineup. He has the ability to make a fantasy impact, but it is unclear if the Yanks will play him enough to warrant a fantasy pickup.
September 7, 2009
According to the Twitter page of Yankees' beat writer Tyler Kepner, Shelley Duncan is on his way to New York. Duncan hit 30 homers and drove in 99 runs in Triple-A this season.
Our View:
Duncan just demolished Triple-A pitching this season, and it looks like that Yanks have decided to callhim up again. He should be able to provide a power bat off the bench for the Yanks, but he won't be taking a job from anyone.
August 1, 2009
The Yankees have optioned Shelley Duncan back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in order to clear room for Jerry Hairston, Jr., the AP reports.
Our View:
Duncan leads the International League in homers (25) and RBI (75), and he can now get back to padding his minor league resume.
July 31, 2009
A day after going deep twice, the Yankees have called up 1B/OF Shelley Duncan from Triple-A. Chien-Ming Wang was transferred to the 60-day DL in a corresponding move.
Our View:
Duncan currently carries a .911 OPS through 90 games at Triple-A and he will likely serve as a right-handed pinch hitter and occasional DH for the Yankees. He doesn't figure to have much fantasy value unless some players ahead of him on the depth chart land on the DL. He has 25 home runs and 75 RBI on the season.
May 30, 2009
Shelley Duncan hit two more home runs for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, giving him 18 for the season.
Our View:
Not that the Yankees need offense, but Duncan could contribute off the bench at some point this season. He is now hitting .304-18-47.
April 30, 2009
Shelley Duncan hit a pair of home runs for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday, giving him nine for the season.
Our View:
Duncan is having a nice rebound in the early going, but the Yankees' roster is not easy to crack at first base or the outfield. AL-only owners still may want to follow his progress.
March 29, 2009
Shelley Duncan has been reassigned to minor league camp by the Yankees, according to the New York Daily News. The club also reassigned pitcher David Robertson, outfielders Todd Linden, John Rodriguez, infielders Doug Bernier, Justin Leone, and catchers P.J. Pilittere and Chris Stewart.
Our View:
None of the listed players were expected to push for a roster spot for opening day.
January 14, 2009
Shelley Duncan will be a non-roster invitee to the Yankees spring training, according to LoHud.com. He had previously been designated for assignment by the team in order to open up a roster spot for Mark Teixeira. No team claimed him while on waivers.
Our View:
Duncan managed just 57 at-bats last season with the parent club. He will likely spend the majority of 2009 in Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre. He could join the 40-man roster following an injury.
January 6, 2009
MLB.com reports that the Yankees have designated first baseman Shelley Duncan for assignment to make room for the organization's new $180 million man, Mark Teixeira.
Our View:
Duncan will likely spend a majority of 2009 in AAA Scranton Wilkes-Barre, where he batted .239 with 12 home runs and 44 RBIs in 58 games last season after being sent down in June.
