After a pair of unimpressive appearances, the Royals have pulled the plug on their experiment using Danny Duffy as a reliever. He was optioned to Class AAA Omaha on Sunday morning.

Duffy was the highest-profile of four roster moves: Lefty reliever Donnie Joseph was also optioned to Omaha; right-handers Cory Wade and P.J. Walters were re-assigned to minor-league camp.

The cuts left lefty Francisley Bueno and righty Jon Rauch as the only two relievers still in the mix for the final spot in the bullpen. Manager Ned Yost cautioned the organization would be trolling the waiver wire in the coming days in search of upgrades. He also dismissed the suggestion the team would carry only 11 pitchers.

“There’s a lot of things that can happen,” Yost said. “Let’s put it that way.”

Yost also chalked the decision up to the organization’s commitment to winning in 2014. The big leagues are no longer a place for player development.

“Would we be sending Danny Duffy down two years ago? Nah,” Yost said. “Nah. We’d let him figure it out up here.”

Good, I like it.

The right move, IMO.

I'm fine with sending Duffy down. To me, this is a sign that they are confident Zimmer will be available late in the season and able to fill that extra spot in the rotation effectively.

Hopefully, Duffy can continue working on throwing the slider for strikes and get better at executing pitches to put guys away.

Guess its time to update my projected roster. Unless we do pick someone up off of waivers, I'm now guessing that Bueno makes the team as pitcher #12. Ciriaco and Peguero would have to clear waivers to stay on our 40-man roster.

Apparently the Giants are making the Royals play by NL rules today. Yost isn't too happy about it. Ventura is pitching. According to McCullough he won't be allowed to swing the bat when at the plate.

Anywhere to watch it?

Doesn't look like it.

Yost should send Ventura holding the bat upside down and batting from the wrong side, Jack Elliot style.

If I was Yost, I'd have him just lean on the bat with the end of the barrel on the ground like it was a cane with his other hand on his hip in an "impatiently waiting" pose.
