The Kansas City Royals say left-handed pitching prospect Danny Duffy has left baseball.  Duffy left camp after telling the club that he wanted to reassess his priorities. The team offered no additional information.

The 21-year-old Duffy went 19-10 with a 2.49 ERA in 52 games since drafted in 2007.

Apparently the Royals were a little pumped about this guy, but he wasn’t going to make the club right out of spring training. They wanted to work on his mechanics.

Oh, I forgot, it’s the Royals, no one cares.  Sorry.
