Danny Duffy is, in many ways, a microcosm of both the last four seasons of Kansas City Royals baseball and the 2016 Royals season in particular. Seemingly a bust as a starter, Duffy began the year in the bullpen, where he lurked in each of the previous two postseasons. Duffy the Reliever is nothing short of elite, as you might think a lefty with an upper 90s fastball and a starter's repertoire would be. But a good starter is more valuable than all but the upper echelon of elite bullpen arms. Duffy had failed as a starter.
Late comeback not quite enough as Royals barely drop game 7-6 to Twins
