Newsbreakers
July 3, 2008
Shelley Duncan separated his shoulder on Wednesday, according to the New York Daily News.

Our View:GM Brian Cashman says he has not ruled out the possibility that the injury could end Duncan's season.
June 13, 2008
The Yankees team website reports that with the team heading out for 16 consecutive games against the National League, they have optioned Shelley Duncan to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Infielder Alberto Gonzalez was promoted to fill out the 25-man roster.

Our View:Duncan had not played in the past seven games, and his last start came on May 30 at Minnesota. The team wants Duncan playing everyday, something he can't receive with the big club.
May 24, 2008
Shelley Duncan has settled in nicely as a spare part on the Yankees roster, according to MLB.com. "That can be hard on anyone, not getting regular playing time or getting the at-bats you need," Duncan said. "But as soon as you get that feeling, that comfort feeling, it's nice to lock it into your brain and just ride it out."

Our View:Duncan continues to see work when the Yanks face a lefty, he owns a .281 batting average against them, allowing the team to rest either Bobby Abreu, Johnny Damon or Jason Giambi.
May 2, 2008
Shelley Duncan is batting fourth and starting at first base tonight when the Yankees host Seattle and starter Erik Bedard in the first of a three-game set.

Our View:Duncan hit cleanup on Thursday night when the Tigers sent Nate Robertson to the mound. Currently Yanks skipper Joe Girardi is hogtied when trying to sport a lineup to throw at opposing left-handers.
May 2, 2008
How have injuries affected the Yankees in the last couple of weeks? Shelley Duncan was the cleanup hitter on Thursday night. With Alex Rodriguez sidelined for at least two weeks with a Grade 2 strain of his right quadriceps, Duncan assumed duties batting fourth in the Yankees' lineup.

Our View:This could be the case again tonight as Seattle will hand the ball to Erik Bedard for the first tilt of the three-game series. Skipper Joe Girardi has tried to be creative with his club as his lineup has struggled against left-handers.
May 1, 2008
With Alex Rodriguez on the DL, manager Joe Girardi wants to break up all the left-handed bats in the middle of the lineup so Shelley Duncan will bat cleanup, according to MLB.com. "Shelley has hit left-handers in his career pretty well and Shelley played pretty well down at Triple-A. We're just trying to break it up so it's not so easy for them to bring in their lefties," Girardi said.

Our View:At Triple-A Scranton Duncan hit .309 with six home runs, so he has been swinging a solid bat. We still can't think that this arrangement will pick up any traction though, so don't go scrambling to add Shelley based on this news.
April 27, 2008
The Yankees were hoping young minor-league promoted Shelley Duncan could cure the team's woes at first base, but thus far it appears to be an experiment failed. Duncan went 0-for-4 today with two strike outs and three runners left on base in a tight 1-0 victory over the Cleveland Indians.

Our View:Duncan is not hitting .091, converting just one hit in 15 at-bats.
April 26, 2008
Shelley Duncan is starting in right field against the Indians today, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The team is facing lefty Jeremy Sowers. Duncan has been called up from Triple-A Scranton.

Our View:Duncan had a strong spring training, but won't get enough at-bats to make an impact as a fantasy performer this season. He will likely only hold value when the Yankess face lefties.
April 25, 2008
Shelley Duncan hit his sixth home run of the season for Triple-A Scranton Wilkes/Barre on Thursday.

Our View:He is hitting .309-6-17 in only 55 at-bats. He is certainly doing his best to earn his way back to the Bronx.
April 4, 2008
Shelley Duncan has had his suspension, which sprung from a bench-clearing brawl in spring training, reduced from three games to two, according to the NY Daily News. Duncan will begin serving the suspension Sunday. He has yet to receive an at-bat in three games this year.
March 20, 2008
Shelley Duncan went 2-for-5 with two RBI against Toronto on Thursday, and now has 13 RBI for the spring. Duncan will continue to compete for a top bench job with the Yankees.
March 17, 2008
Shelley Duncan will appeal his three-game suspension, according to the Denver Post. "I think to give Bob Watson and MLB the chance to hear the story from my eyes is pretty important," Duncan said. He'll be allowed to play until his case is resolved.
March 14, 2008
Major League Baseball has suspended Shelley Duncan for the first three games of the season for his role in Thursday's rumble with the Rays, according to SportsTicker. He could appeal the suspension, in which case he would be allowed to keep playing until his case is heard.
March 5, 2008
Shelley Duncan continued his impressive start with the Yankees as he hit a solo HR to up his spring numbers to .636 with two HR and nine RBI in four games. “Very impressive,” manager Joe Girardi said to the AP. “He’s done everything a man could do. He’s a ball of energy.” Duncan has started off like a house on fire, but it remains to be seen how much playing time he will be able to pick up given that he is battling Jason Giambi, Wilson Betemit and Morgan Ensberg for AB.
March 1, 2008
Shelley Duncan recorded five RBIs on Saturday afternoon with a three-run homer and a two-run double. The 28-year-old Duncan made a dramatic impact last year with seven homers and 17 RBIs, but earned some brownie points today in what figures to be a competitive battle for starter status at first base. Duncan is battling Jason Giambi, Morgan Ensberg and Wilson Betemit for playing time.
February 13, 2008
Shelley Duncan, who had blood clots in his arm last November, is fully healthy and ready to resume his major league career, according to MLB.com. Duncan certainly won't be handed any playing time with Jason Giambi, Wilson Betemit and the newly acquired Morgan Ensberg on hand, but he will have a chance to make the team in spring training nonetheless.
