There's some value but I am not sure it's much at this point.

I don't think Danny ever makes another start for the Royals at this point.

I think I've long been his biggest fan, but he has lost it.

I think he'll get a start or two to begin the year. Ned loves him and will give him a chance I think. Right or wrong, I think that's what happens.

Should have traded him for Cueto like I said! For real though... I think they'll keep riding it out to see if he turns it around, but no way he starts if he's pitching like this.

Nah, we'll start with Eddy, Ace, Kennedy, Medlen and Young IMO. Probably won't need a #5 for the first couple of weeks or so, but I haven't checked the schedule to confirm.

I'm really surprised Duffy hasn't developed --- I really thought he'd come into his own by now. He doesn't have that wipeout pitch, his fastball is straight and his control is obviously mediocre at best. Not a good combination for a starting pitcher.

If Wang keeps pitching like he has, he probably won't start the year in the rotation, but he might get a shot before too long. Especially if he's really hitting 95 on the gun. Or I guess they could just use him as another power arm in the pen.

Just got through watching the 2015 postseason supercut again. Still not sure how we won the ALDS this year. Unbelievable series.

I, too, am done with Duffy.

That pitching performance today, against guys who likely have no place on an MLB roster, was the final straw for me.

Just be done. Cut him loose. Quit giving him chances to fail (ala Mitch Maier).

um....

Duffy has a 3.27 ERA after returning from Tommy John surgery a couple years ago. No, he's not an ace... but he's still a very effective pitcher, with plenty of potential to still be more than that. He also JUST turned 27 years old.. relatively young, still.

He didn't have a great year last year, but his "awful year" was still an ERA of 4.08. Let that soak in.

He's also one of the best characters on the team. His twitter feed has been money for years.

he's going to start a bunch of game for us this year, very important guy. I too would encourage folks to pump the breaks on the writing him off.

Duffman will be the next bullpen superstar.

I think (or at least hope) that they use Young exactly like they did last year - long relief for a couple months, rotation for a couple months, then rest him to get ready for the stretch run.

To be fair, the kid's a meatpeeker.
