Stuff like this is what makes us a family--some of us have been here as the young man went thru HS --to see him attain this opportunity is excellent and makes all in the HSBASEBALLWEB family feel good

"And there is growing evidence that Zach Duke, the Pirates' minor-league pitcher of the year in 2004, will be given a long look."
"Another strong suggestion that the Pirates want to give left-hander Zach Duke, their minor-league pitcher of the year in 2004, a chance to win the fifth starter's job: When McClendon was asked by a reporter if that job might be open to a young prospect, he smiled and replied, "Yeah, I know where you're coming from. Without naming names, no, we're not ruling anybody out." Duke, 21, has not pitched above Class AA."
From the Pittsburgh paper previously mentioned.
Go! Big guy! Go!
