| Francisco Liriano's 2010 Profile | | Maybe 2009’s biggest disappointment, Liriano entered last season seemingly poised to build on a second half of 2008 that saw him go 6-1 with a 2.74 ERA, a 1.19 WHIP and a 60/19 K/BB ratio in 65 2/3 innings. Instead, he floundered right away, losing his first four starts. Just when it seemed he might have righted the ship by going 2-1 with a 3.77 ERA and 30 strikeouts in 31 innings in June, he gave up six homers in his next four starts and got optioned back to the minors. With the Twins trying to win the AL Central, Liriano was reduced to a bit role in September, and he allowed six runs in 9 1/3 innings coming out of the pen. Liriano hasn’t fully recovered his velocity following Tommy John surgery, but he was throwing in the low-90s last year and both his slider and changeup were above average pitches. Still, everyone hammered his fastball anyway, and he gave up 21 homers in 136 2/3 innings. The Twins were truly baffled, and though they resisted attempts to sell low on him over the winter, they’re likely going to have him open 2010 back in the bullpen. He has way too much upside not to go in the middle rounds of AL-only drafts, but he probably won’t produce much value early on. | | Year | Tm | G | GS | IP | W | L | HLDS | S | K | ERA | WHIP | | Proj | MIN | - | - | 143.0 | 9 | 6 | 3 | 0 | 136 | 3.90 | 1.32 | | 2009 | MIN | 29 | 24 | 136.2 | 5 | 13 | 0 | 0 | 122 | 5.80 | 1.55 | | 2008 | MIN | 14 | 14 | 76.0 | 6 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 67 | 3.91 | 1.39 | | 2007 | | 0 | 0 | .0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | .00 | 0.00 |
