With it looking like Travis Ishikawa (back) will start the year on the DL, Duffy has a strong chance of making the Opening Day roster, Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News reports. Manager Bruce Bochy announced that the disabled list was a "strong possibility" for Ishikawa, and this would allow Duffy to make the 25-man roster to start the season. Duffy has had a strong spring, batting .385 with three homers. He likely won't see regular playing time with Joaquin Arias and Ehire Adrianza both making the squad, but he would all of a sudden become an intriguing option in deeper leagues should any of the Giants' infielders go down with an injury.
