Dave Duarte is what is referred to as a five tool player.  His skill and talent are respected by his fellow teammates and opponents alike. This type of player will always deliver plays that other players are not even going to attempt.  His hitting is so consistent that you might as well just fill in the score sheet before every game for him even before he comes to bat.  These type of players are a team’s dream to have because he just shows up and then shows up when it really counts.   His HOF selection was an easy choice and one well deserved.
