Duffy is batting .385 with a three doubles, a triple, a home run, and four RBI this spring. Duffy is putting pressure on the Giants to earn one of the 25 Opening Day roster spots with his strong play this spring. He has always been able to put the bat on the ball (.304 average through 3 minor league seasons) and has decent speed on the base paths (20 stolen bases at Double-A Richmond last season). The issue for Duffy is that there simply aren't enough bench spots left for another middle infielder. Veteran Joaquin Arias has already locked up a utility role and the Giants prefer Ehire Adrianza's glove to Duffy's. Also working against Duffy is the fact that he does have minor league options available, whereas Adrianza is currently out of options. Duffy should start the year at Triple-A Sacramento and be the first middle infielder called up when the situation arises.
