Liriano looks good in spring training debut
Published 3/8/2008 at FOXSports.com News for MLB
Francisco Liriano faced a major league team for the first time in 18 months, gave up no runs and felt no pain.
He even made Manny Ramirez look silly on a changeup that the Red Sox slugger flailed at for a third strike. And he made Twins pitching coach Rick Anderson smile.
"He felt great," Anderson said. "His first outing was outstanding and we just build off of that."
Minnesota beat Boston 7-2 Friday behind homers from Justin Morneau and Craig Monroe off Clay Buchholz in the first inning.

I am not sure we should actually be calling this an afternoon delight as the Boston Red Sox split-squad teams did not fare well on either coast of Florida. On the right coast of Florida, the Red Sox got shellacked by the Orioles while on the left coast the Twins put a beating on the Sox as well.Liriano Faces Hitters Without Pain

The Red Sox and closer Jonathan Papelbon agreed on a 1-year, $775,000 contract. Papelbon earned $425,550 last season while earning 37 saves and 1.85 ERA. So if I do the math, Paps will be earning almost twice as much as he did last year. Papelbon wanted a new multi-year deal, but he does not have any leverage due to his small amount of ML service.Reliving the 1975 World Series
