The Cleveland Indians Have Got To Give A Spot to Shelley Duncan

Written By Larry M. Glicken "LG"

Shelley Duncan is picking up right where he left off for the Cleveland Indians last September, tearing the cover off the baseball.

Manny Acta has got to find a spot to place Duncan in. It is the perfect storm this spring. Acta thought he would have the services of Grady Sizemore after the Indians gave Grady a 5 million dollar incentive filled contract during the off season.


Now Manny Acta has the perfect excuse to place Shelley Duncan in left field. Many don't think Duncan can be the Tribes everyday left fielder. I for one say let Duncan have his chance and lets see what he does with it. The Indians really need a guy who can hit with power from the right side of the plate. Duncan is the guy who can fill the bill.
 
Duncan hit a home run to give the Indians their first win of the season over the Royals this afternoon. Shelley Duncan has already proved last season playing left field he is capable of making some plays defensively.  Duncan made a couple of catches down in Texas that were second to none as far as the level of difficulty.

If The Indians don't give Duncan a chance to start in left field this season come opening day they would be making a grave mistake in my Humble Opinion.... I say lets give the kid a chance... Duncan could very well end up being one of the best power hitters in MLB
