First of all, I never said I wasn't happy. Please read my posts before you comment on them and make assumptions. My statement was simply that when it came to pitching, there was nothing I saw that I didn't see as sustainable for the rest of the year...whereas we have several position players who are far below the norm and are bound to bounce back towards that...and even with that as the case, we're only 2.5 games out of first and just played pretty well against 4 good teams. It was an optimistic post.

I don't want more. I'm pleased with Duffy. And I have no reason to believe that there's going to be a correction other than the occasional bad start. I never said anyone (other than Guthrie) has been down, and that has been discussed. Duffy has long been considered a top prospect, who along with Ventura, is panning out at the big league level nicely (a Royals rarity but not unexpected).
