This move had nothing to do with Kelenic.
Yeah, but I do think there was some (bad) thought here and on social media that he would be playing almost every day when the stats should have told us that wasn't optimal and/or likely.
My "not exactly a ringing endorsement" comment was more about the timing than anything. Its going to be hard to convince the masses that it wasn't at least in part due to Kelenic's struggles, and just from the perspective of Kelenic's mentality I think it would have been better to sign Duvall a couple of weeks ago and go into the season with this plan instead of it even sort of looking reactionary. We don't want to give a guy who is probably mentally struggling anyway any unnecessary doubt IMO.
That said, in the back of AA's mind I do think the Duvall signing is a tincy wincy bit of a "If this Kelenic dude totally shits the bed we can just play Adam every day" signing, but like I said its not because of his ST performance.

Rereading AA’s quote makes me question that.
Duvall has been on the market for a long time. They have had plenty of time to pick him up before now. The opportunity has been there since the end of last season. The timing is suspect at a minimum.

AA said Kelenic's spring has "zero, no impact" on signing Duvall. “This is about Duvall. We had an opportunity to get Duvall back, we were going to do that. Jarred has looked great. He’s looked great defensively ... We’re very excited about Jarred and how he’s doing, thrilled.”
