Confident that organizational lines of communication will improve, Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan said Tuesday he is prepared to return to the club for a 15th season should Tony La Russa do the same as manager.

Duncan, who returned to his southwest Missouri home Monday, told the Post-Dispatch that concerns that led him to publicly speculate in August about his future with the organization have eased, partly due to recent reassurances offered by from general manager John Mozeliak.

“My inclination is not to go somewhere else,” Duncan said. “Any issues I have I feel like can be addressed by talking with Mo’.”

HELL YES. La Russa, for what it’s worth, is almost certainly going to return. (Who didn’t know this would happen, though?)
