Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"He (Duke Welker) was an aggressive protect because we didn't want to lose that type of arm. If he can continue to take those steps forward, it doesn't matter when you get there. Especially with the stuff that he has, in that position, relievers tend to come later than most of the other positions. He's still got a lot of bullets left in that arm." - Pittsburgh Pirates General Manager Neal Huntington (Michael Sanserino, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 03/08/2012, 'Welker not household name, but there's hope', Source)
