Matt Duffy Bulks Up
6 years agoTampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy bulked up in the offseason, adding 23 pounds to increase his strength and flexibility. Duffy missed all of the 2017 season due to injury but hit .294/.361/.366 with four home runs, 44 RBI and 12 stolen bases in 132 games in his first season with Tampa in 2018. The 28-year-old can also play shortstop and second base, so he's a bit of a Swiss Army knife for the Rays in the infield. Duffy can run a little bit but doesn't hit for enough power to be attractive in mixed leagues. He's strictly a cheap utility option for those in deep AL-only formats.
