Agree ... El Duque CANNOT be in the rotation next year. I love the guy and thought he had great stuff this year, but this is the 2nd year in a row that he's broken down in the stretch and it's hurt the team badly. Would have been very nice to have trotted him out there instead of Lawrence/Pelfrey/Humber. El Duque can fortify the bullpen in a middle/long relief role, where (a) he won't throw as many innings and (b) he doesn't kill the team too bad if/when he goes down.
