The headline of today's Spring Training article:

ROTATION BATTLE NOT NEW FOR DUCKWORTH

Now, I understand that I can be cynical, probably more so than a lot of people. I don't understand how the inability of a former top prospect to hold a spot in any rotation anywhere can be construed as a good thing. And yet somehow Paul Meyer writes an article today in which we're supposed to feel bad for Duckworth that the 5th spot in the rotation hasn't been handed to him because Jim Colborn taught him to throw a curveball the way Sandy Koufax did. Damn those silly things like "past performances," they really put a damper on things sometimes.
