No. You can't.

Lefthanders that can sit at 95 throughout an entire start are INCREDIBLY rare. Guys that can do that while also showing a plus changeup and good curveball are even more rare. Duffy needs some finishing, but has tremendous upside and is close to realizing it.

He needs to command better, but that's the LAST thing that comes back after elbow surgery. He needs to figure out he can trust his stuff against major league hitters (a lesson he appeared to be taking to heart before his elbow exploded last May).
