He has such a solid eye with gap to gap power. Long ways to get to actual Kent territory, but theres something there IMO.

I don't think Duffy will ever have Kent's power. Duffy may hit for an average that is as good or maybe somewhat better than Kent. He won't match him in slugging. Kent was special, easy to forget how good he was. Not a lot of range on the field, but he rarely missed what he got to. And, he was a bad ass of all times, a real tough SOB.

But I like Duffy.

Not his HR power, but that gap to gap doubles power.

But then again, Duffy might hit 15 HR this year, which 3 times what people expected. You never know if he puts on more muscle weight.

Like I said, im not saying he'll be Kent, but there are things that remind me of Kent, which is saying something.
