If we can get Cueto for Duffy? Shit, I'd pay the one-way ticket to Cincinnati for Danny. Whitlock style.

Seriously.
Duffy posted a 2.53 ERA with a 3.6 WAR, 1.1 WHIP, and 6.8 H/9 IP (that's Nolan-esque) in 150 Innings. This team does not make the playoffs without Duffy last year. He was our best starting pitcher, in the year we go to the playoffs for the first time in three decades. I don't get it. The guy is having issues this season, yes. He's also 26 years old, and posted half his career innings last season. He's young with a shit metric ton of ability. He's been extremely successful at a very young age. He's a most definite proven commodity. We have seen what he is capable of.
