The Pittsburgh Pirates came to terms on a contract with pitcher Zach Duke. This contract helps Duke avoid arbitration and guarantees Duke's services for the 2010 season. This is a move that needed to happen as Duke was one of the Pirates' most consistent starters in 2010. He went 11-16 with a 4.06 ERA. Obviously not spectacular numbers, but for a team that was as bad as the 2009 Pirates, those numbers are solid. I am hoping Duke has another consistent season in 2010 as he hasn't shown to be consistent on a year-to-year basis since he came to the Majors in 2005. We'll see if lives up to his contract, and performs at a mid-to-high level. I also wonder if he is having a repeat performance in 2010, if he'll be traded come the 2010 trade deadline?
