It's entirely possible that his tools have started eroding and, with him already having deep flaws as a hitter, he's experienced a complete collapse.
The thing that really concerns me is that his numbers aren't just terrible, he looks absolutely AWFUL out there. He's not spraying bullets all over the field. He's having bad ABs and making weak outs.
If Duvall continues to show nothing at the plate and especially if he keeps screwing up in the field, I don't even feel comfortable putting $2 million into him for next year.
