KANSAS CITY ROYALS

Danny Duffy - LHP (1-3, 1.96 ERA)

Although Danny Duffy has an outstanding E.R.A. of 1.96, and an exemplary W.H.I.P. of 1.036, he has given out 13 free passes (11 walks and 2 hit batsmen) in only 18.33 innings pitched.

2 of the walks were intentional.

Minus the intentional walks, he has given out 11 free passes in those 18.33 innings pitched, for an average of 1 free pass every 1.67 innings pitched.

If we don't take walks, I hope that we will at least get ahead in the count, so as to give ourselves an advantage (by getting into hitter's counts.)

Why Young over Pearce? Makes no sense.

From Roch, probably from a press handout...

Adam Jones is batting .469/.514/.938 against left-handed pitching this season, leading the majors in average, slugging and OPS (minimum 35 plate appearances), according to STATS. He ranks second behind the Rockies' Troy Tulowitzki in on-base percentage.
