Scouting Report / Bio: Duenas enjoyed the best offensive season of his career in 2006, hitting .297 with 14 homeruns while playing with High Desert of the California League. However, the hitter-friendly nature of High Desert's ballpark and his advanced age (relative to competition) should partially negate his 2006 numbers. Duenas is also a good receiver and handles pitchers well.
Future Outlook: Double-A backup catcher.
