He made huge strides with that (pitching to contact) last year, as seen in the high number of pop-ups he was getting.
If you take away the two short outings he had in September (when he tried to pitch through a broken rib), Duffy averaged 6 innings a start. You'd like to see him add 2/3 of an inning to that average, but that's pretty solid.
