One of their top half-dozen prospects, southpaw pitcher Danny Duffy, has decided to leave baseball to re-assess his priorities in life. This is not injury related in any way. Good for him I suppose....but that pitching depth the Royals liked to talk about in their system took a big hit today.
This kid had a 2.49 ERA in his minor league career thus far and had a K/H ratio of 290/188 which is really impressive plus a solid K/BB ratio of 290/83. This is a prospect they expected to be a piece of their rotation one day.
The A's had Grant Desme leave their organization last month to enter the priesthood....it will be interesting to hear more about Duffy's story.
