I don't understand the talk about Duffy being a bust. Yes, he is losing a battle with Ventura...but all the other positions were given to Chen, Vargas, Shields, and Guthrie. It was predetermined to be Ventura vs Duffy. Ok, he lost. He's struggling with command. He also no hit the Tigers last year through 5 or 6. He has time to figure things out. Luckily for the Royals, they don't need him right now. If he finds his control mid season and changes spots with Chen look out. Is losing to Ventura a really bad thing? Maybe Ventura is really good. We better hope so. I'd rather it be the case that Ventura is a beast than have Duffy beat him out. Duffy has time, he just doesn't have a spot now. And that's a great thing.
