The Question of whether to chase Elijah Dukes has a simple answer


It is the answer to every Yankee question.

It has been this way since 2004, though it has diminished somewhat since last October.

Should we sign Elijah Dukes, the emotionally-challenged outfielder who yesterday received his walking papers from the Quadruple A Washington Nationals?

No.

Unless Boston is about to sign him.

Then, yes.

Shell out the money. Whatever it takes.

Next question?

    If Boston wants Dukes, they can have him. Typical Red Sox player: Right-handed power hitter who can hit balls ovah da Monstah, but can't hit for average, strikes out too much, can't field any position, and kinda chunky, too. The only thing missing is that he's only 25, hardly old enough to fit the type.

    Come to think of it, maybe the Mets can use him. Nah, he was never a star somewhere else.

    Typical Red Sox player? Nope.

    How do I put this delicately? Ah yes ... he has too much melanin.
