All of the papers and even this Minnesota Twins blog are certain that Francisco Liriano is going to be just fine and make a positive impact with the Minnesota Twins this year, but I heard a rumor from a reliable local sports guy that Liriano may not be up to par. Besides arriving late for Twins Spring Training, Liriano is 20lbs. over weight and has yet to throw a 90mph pitch. In fact the only person to attest to Liriano being able to throw 90mph after Tommy John surgery is his agent who “saw him do it in the Dominican Republic.” That rumor makes this Minnesota Twins fan nervous.
Well, Francisco Liriano will make his first Twins spring training start this Friday against the Boston Red Sox. My guess is Liriano will throw two to three innings, depending on his pitch count. Let’s hope we see some speed in those pitches!
