Duffyless

This kind of strategy always works. As near as I can tell, Chris Duffy blames the Pirates for his failings, because they wanted him to do things like be more selective at the plate so that he would actually reach base more. Bastards. What nerve, trying to tamper with someone with the proven track record of Chris Duffy.

If I were Chris Duffy's agent, I would be telling him in no uncertain terms to get his sorry ass to Indianapolis, to appologize profusely, and then to shut the hell up and play baseball, if he ever wants to see major league meal money again. Major league organizations will forgive or overlook a lot, but they are very good at abruptly halting the careers of malcontents. The last time a Pirates' outfielder tried something like this it didn't work out too well.

Duffy has a choice. He can get with the program, or he can join Bell on a boat somewhere.
