Duffy ready for starter or relief role with Royals

KANSAS CITY -- While Royals left-hander Danny Duffy has been told he will get every chance to grab a spot in the rotation in Spring Training, the reality is that the addition of right-hander Ian Kennedy reduces those odds.

Duffy now will be in a fight for one of the two final rotation spots with right-handers Chris Young, Kris Medlen and Dillon Gee.

Duffy, however, is not going to fret about the competition. Whether he ends up in the rotation or the bullpen, Duffy is ready for either.

"I can't really go in with either mindset," Duffy said at the team's FanFest last weekend.
