After spending parts of the last two seasons with the Thunder, though injury is something that Duff hasn’t seemed to be able to fully shake off as of yet, he's back in Trenton trying to get back into the swing of things. http://yankees.scout.com/2/1077492.html 2047 Kim Leder http://yankees.scout.com/2/1077492.html Mon, 06 Jun 2011 19:38:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Grant Duff always had better stuff than his numbers had shown throughout his career, but it was either injuries or control problems that had limited his success. He finally started putting it all together a year ago, however, and seemed poised for a breakout in 2010, but another injury derailed what he felt was going to be his big breakout year. http://yankees.scout.com/2/1028045.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/1028045.html Sat, 04 Dec 2010 03:08:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Trenton, New Jersey - Grant Duff finished last season on a high note and he’s already off to a fantastic start in 2010 with 3 saves under his belt. He finished 2009 with a 4-2 record and a 3.22 ERA and 76 strikeouts. The big righty spent the off-season improving his secondary pitches and his command. http://yankees.scout.com/2/965666.html 2047 Jessica Quiroli http://yankees.scout.com/2/965666.html Mon, 26 Apr 2010 02:30:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees The Yankees have amassed some pretty impressive pitching depth over the years. While the majority of them are starting pitchers right now, and even though a few could make the switch to the bullpen at some point, we take a look at the top ten fastballs among the current relief pitching prospects in the Yankees farm system. http://yankees.scout.com/2/951792.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/951792.html Sat, 06 Mar 2010 21:13:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees The New York Yankees selected right-handed pitcher Grant Duff in the 31st round of the 2004 MLB Draft out of College of the Sequoias and signed him a year later as a draft-and-follow. He spent a few years battling injuries and inconsistencies as a starting pitcher before jumping on to the radar last season in Trenton as a reliever. http://yankees.scout.com/2/937951.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/937951.html Sat, 16 Jan 2010 05:43:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees The numbers this season, going a combined 4-3 with a 3.52 ERA between stops in Tampa and Trenton, underscore what was a huge transformation of Grant Duff's stuff this season. And the bump in arsenal couldn't have come at a better time with this being his 40-man roster season. Now he's headed out to the Arizona Fall League to prove he's worth the designation. http://yankees.scout.com/2/905648.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/905648.html Sat, 03 Oct 2009 04:19:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees There was a time a few years ago where Grant Duff was showing some plus stuff, but it soon took a back seat to further developing some more command. Now a member of the Trenton bullpen, Duff, who has approached triple digits on the radar gun, has seen his stuff take an even bigger jump and his overall game is peaking at the right time. http://yankees.scout.com/2/890245.html 2047 Jessica Quiroli http://yankees.scout.com/2/890245.html Thu, 20 Aug 2009 03:05:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees TAMPA, FL - It was back in 2006 when Grant Duff was showing some great stuff with the Gulf Coast League Yankees, stuff that seemed perfect for the back end of a bullpen. Nearly three years later he is still transitioning to the pen, and while the stuff has changed some, it's the location of his pitches that will be the key to his success. http://yankees.scout.com/2/867340.html 2047 Andraya Vantrease http://yankees.scout.com/2/867340.html Mon, 25 May 2009 12:00:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees With the Yankees farm system loaded with a plethora of starting pitchers, sometimes finding room for everyone becomes exceedingly difficult. At this point it becomes a number’s game and not a question of talent, as is the case with converted starting pitcher Grant Duff who has made the transition to the bullpen after spending last year as a starting pitcher. http://yankees.scout.com/2/757389.html 2047 Raj Shiwmangal http://yankees.scout.com/2/757389.html Mon, 26 May 2008 02:25:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Nardi Contreras, the Yankees Minor League Pitching Coordinator, sits down with PinstripesPlus.com for a long Q&A session. In Part Two of our two-part series, Nardi talks about the development of the changeups for George Kontos and Alan Horne, how Kevin Whelan is progressing, how impressed he is with David Robertson, what Scott Patterson needs to do to get up to the big leagues, and more. http://yankees.scout.com/2/745494.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/745494.html Fri, 11 Apr 2008 14:55:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees The graduation of Joba Chamberlain and Ian Kennedy put a dent in the farm system's depth of sliders but the Yankees still have quite a few special ones to watch closely. Here are the top ten sliders among pitching prospects in the Yankees' farm system. http://yankees.scout.com/2/731578.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/731578.html Sun, 24 Feb 2008 04:59:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees The Yankees true depth is in their collection of power arms. Literally possessing more than a couple of dozen pitchers who have above average fastballs, here are the top ten fastballs among the starting pitching prospects in the Yankees farm system. http://yankees.scout.com/2/728742.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/728742.html Wed, 13 Feb 2008 04:53:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees The Yankees liked Grant Duff so much they drafted him not once [in the 30th round of the 2003 MLB Draft] but twice, nabbing him in the 31st round of the 2004 MLB Draft out of the College of the Sequoias in California and signing him as a draft-and-follow in 2005 before finishing tied for third in the organization last season with 14 wins in his first full-season. http://yankees.scout.com/2/721556.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/721556.html Sun, 20 Jan 2008 04:45:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Nardi Contreras, the Yankees Minor League Pitching Coordinator, sits down with PinstripesPlus.com for a long Q&A session. In Part three of our multi-part series, Nardi tells us why Ivan Nova didn't have better numbers, how George Kontos developed his secondary pitches, what Michael Dunn has to do to move quicker, if David Robertson is for real, and more. http://yankees.scout.com/2/689036.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/689036.html Wed, 10 Oct 2007 12:11:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees It was a strange year for Grant Duff. He led the South Atlantic League in walks, but yet only Trenton pitcher Jeff Marquez had more wins in the Yankees farm system. Inconsistent control of his fastball and losing the feel for his changeup plagued him, but nothing hurt his game more than not having his best pitch - his slider - for a good portion of the year. http://yankees.scout.com/2/687697.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/687697.html Sat, 06 Oct 2007 13:00:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees We sat down with Charleston Riverdogs Pitching Coach Carlos Reyes for a Q&A session to find out what he has seen from Ivan Nova in his first full season, what kind of progress Michael Dunn has made from the start of the season, what's going on with Grant Duff's high number of walks, if he thinks Jesse Hoover is close to returning to his old form, and more. http://yankees.scout.com/2/666492.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/666492.html Thu, 09 Aug 2007 12:33:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees We sat down with Charleston Riverdogs Manager Torre Tyson for a Q&A session to get his thoughts on what he has seen from Mitch Hilligoss since his hit streak, why has Josue Calzado turned around his season, if he's surprised Austin Jackson has done well since leaving Charleston, what he likes best about Michael Dunn, and much, much more. http://yankees.scout.com/2/665668.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/665668.html Tue, 07 Aug 2007 12:52:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Grant Duff, who earlier in the year was pitching exclusively from the stretch, has reverted back to his old ways of pitching from the wind-up, and he couldn’t be happier with the results he has received. http://yankees.scout.com/2/660131.html 2047 Matt Visconti http://yankees.scout.com/2/660131.html Fri, 20 Jul 2007 11:21:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Grant Duff is a pitcher who is used to relying heavily on his plus slider and 95 MPH fastball to get outs. With the help of Charleston Riverdogs' pitching Coach Carlos Reyes however, the rapid development of his once non-existent changeup is giving him a more complete arsenal and changing his approach on the mound. http://yankees.scout.com/2/643804.html 2047 Matt Visconti http://yankees.scout.com/2/643804.html Mon, 14 May 2007 13:10:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees We sat down with Charleston Riverdogs Pitching Coach Carlos Reyes for a Q&A session to find out why they scrapped the piggy-back, which pitcher has impressed him the most so far, what he has seen from the likes of Angel Reyes, David Robertson, Garrett Patterson and Nick Peterson, what happened to Grant Duff and his seven walks last week, just how good Tim Norton was in his last start, and more. http://yankees.scout.com/2/638281.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/638281.html Tue, 24 Apr 2007 14:03:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees
