DANNY DUFFY RUMORS & GOSSIP
Intensity of 'pen work suits Duffy well, but he could make timely switch to rotation, too
Left-hander Danny Duffy has been better than perhaps anyone imagined in his new and brief career as a reliever.
In three appearances, Duffy has worked at least two innings each time out, given up just three hits and no runs, and has struck out nine hitters.

It's normally pretty hard to find bright spots in a 7-1 thumping.
But the Royals can at least take some comfort in the relief outing turned in by left-hander Danny Duffy during their pounding at Minnesota.
Duffy, recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Saturday morning, came on in relief of starter James Shields and retired all seven hitters he faced, three on strikeouts.
