SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Royals left-hander Danny Duffy said he was flattered that now ex-teammate Eric Hosmer identified him as his best teammate.
Hosmer, a free-agent first baseman who signed with the Padres, participated in an #AskThePadres Twitter Q&A on Tuesday night and was asked about his best teammate ever.
Hosmer responded, "I'm gonna say Duffy. He was always bringing in stuff for the whole team. He's the pitcher always on the top step when he's not pitching."
Duffy broke into a smile when told.
"Makes me feel good," Duffy said.
