I don’t think it’s fair to compare Deuce to Sproles. Sproles did stuff I don’t think I’ll ever see in person again. I know I shouldn’t try to project a true freshman to what Sproles was as a junior, but today I can’t help it. Deuce is starting to play faster than he did 2 months ago. He has the potential to be just as productive as Darren was.
I think Darren will always be #1 in my mind because nostalgia, but I’m starting to shift from hoping Deuce can become to 1B to thinking he has a better than 50/50 shot at becoming 1B.
