Pain Free Pitcher

Brandon Ducksworth is pain free after elbow surgery and is making a case to go north with the Royals:

Duckworth, 31, allowed just one run in five innings in his first two spring outings before giving up three bases-empty homers over three innings in Thursday's 7-6 victory over the Giants.

Even then, he struck out five -- which gives him 11 punch-outs and no walks in eight spring innings.

That's the kind of number that should impress a coaching staff, and the injury to Bale gives Duckworth the opening. We'll see if he can take advantage of the opportunity.
