Without doing much research this offseason, I wonder why the Twins were trying to move Liriano. This could be the answer...



Twins starter Francisco Liriano skipped a scheduled bullpen session Friday because he had a bit of tightness in his throwing shoulder. Liriano had an MRI on his shoulder on Friday and it showed no structural damage.



I'd be watching his velocity this spring. Any reports of losing a few mph, downgrade him in your rankings aggressively.

So what you're saying is you love him as your ace? Thanks



PS - I'll bump him up a few spots on this news. $23 going once, going twice, SOLD to GEKKO

PS - I'll bump him up a few spots on this news If his velocity/BB is the same, i have no problem with liriano as a #2. if his velocity is down and/or BB up, feel free to move him to #1 on your list!
