Francisco Liriano is ready

With all the talk about Johan Santana staying or going, we must not forget Francisco Liriano is ready to stay and ready to pitch. He says his arm is strong. The Pioneer Press did a story on Liriano on Sunday and I think it was a reminder to Twins fans that we still have this “ace in the hole.” The PP answered questions surrounding Liriano’s return:

His velocity? "It's back. The past two weeks, I was (at) 95, 94 (mph)"
His endurance? "I'm throwing bullpens the same length as before surgery. I'm in shape."
His pitch selection? "I'm throwing all my pitches now. Sliders, changeups, everything - no problem."

Let’s go Twins…Is it Spring yet?
