More on Dukes

The Devil Rays put Dukes on the inactive list to give him time to get his life straightened out. His life just got a little more complicated:

Dukes was benched for two games last month after his wife said she sought a protective order because she and the couple's two children were threatened by the player. Last week, he was given a personal day off after published reports detailed a pregnant 18-year-old girl's claim that Dukes is the father of her unborn child.

"The last couple of weeks has been a very frustrating time for everybody involved," Friedman said. "But people who do know Elijah know that at his core, he is a good person. He genuinely is. But obviously he's made poor choices and has done so repeatedly."

I'm guessing Dukes' good core is buried pretty deep.
