Danny Duffy (SP, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 42% of Yahoo Leagues

ANALYSIS: Danny Duffy has made the most of his time in the rotation, going 2-0 with a 3.45 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and a 23/9 K/BB ratio. He was excellent for Kansas City last year, posting a 2.53 ERA over 25 starts in 2014, and although I don’t see him replicating that stellar number, I expect him to improve as the year goes on. His current ERA is inflated from a rough debut vs CWS (five innings, five earned runs), and since then he has yet to allow more than three runs in any outing. This includes back-to-back outings of one run ball versus CWS and DET. His .333 BABIP signals that improvement is on the way, although his 31% LD rate is worrisome. I’d be looking to buy Duffy at this point and if he’s available he makes for a solid add.
