A few people have tossed around the idea
of the Twins calling up Francisco Liriano and sticking
him into the rotation without pulling anyone out. Ninety-nine percent of the time, a six-man rotation simply serves to deplete the talent and take ...

It looks like the Minnesota Twins are finally
going to call up youngster Francisco Liriano. Liriano has
been virtually lights out over his past giving up just one earned run in his last five starts, a stretch of 35 innings. Even so, the team has been balking at the idea of bringing him back. Not because he isn’t ready but they believe they have five very capable starting pitchers in the majors.

The next Johan Santana had a terrible start
to the 2008 season. I should know; I drafted
him. When Liriano was sent down to the minors, I had to cut him because my league has no bench. I picked him up over the All-Star break expecting him to be called up, but he is still sitting down in the minors. Why?

A couple of days ago I made a

the Twins rotation, and last night Liriano presented his own case to the Twins. In 7 innings against Toledo, Liriano struck out 10, while giving up only 2 hits and 2 ...

Saturday, July 19, 2008 Waiver Wire: American and

1:46pm American League Francisco Liriano | MIN | SP - In Liriano's last ten minor league starts, he has posted a 9.56 K/9 and a 1.54 BB/9 in 64 IP. It's absurd that he hasn't been recalled yet, and his agent is talking about filing a grievance. I expect he'll be called up soon, and ...

Greg Genske, the agent for Twins pitcher Francisco
Liriano , has convinced the MLB Players Association to
file a grievance over whether the Minnesota Twins have violated the collective bargaining agreement by keeping Liriano down in Class AAA Rochester of the International League, rather than call him up. Liriano was out all of last season after having Tommy John surgery, returned to the ...

Francisco Liriano -- and his agent who wants
to investigate and possibly sue the Minnesota Twins --
are all fired up about him being stuck down in the minors. Yes, he has been lights out over his last four starts with the Rochester Red Wings, going 4-0 with an 0.32 ERA, including an eight-inning effort on Thursday where he allowed just one earned run on seven hits with 8 strikeouts...

Francisco Liriano is doing quite well down at

Francisco Liriano was amazing last night, throwing his
third consecutive scoreless outing. It looks like he'll be
back with the team soon after the All-Star break.

As we continue our journey around the MLB
divisions, I look up to find that the Twins
are second place in the AL Central (behind the White Sox!) despite not getting anything from Francisco Liriano so far. Well, don't forget about him because he's apparently showing some signs of life at Triple-A . I wouldn't be surprised if he came up in August and made an impact on the pennant race, assuming ...
