Is Daniel Lynch another Danny Duffy?

Related Topics: Danny Duffy, Kansas City Royals

I remember being excited when Danny Duffy made it to the Major Leagues. A young lefty with an above-average fastball and multiple secondary offerings, it just seemed like once he harnessed his arsenal he could not help but be a top-of-the-rotation starter. Not that he has had a bad big league career, but a consistent front-line starter just never materialized. Now Daniel Lynch is here, another tall lefty with good velocity on the fastball who also throws a slider, changeup, and curve. The starter kit just seems so good, but he has the same tendency that plagued Duffy.
