Liriano ready for spring

[mofome]

Francisco Liriano expects to enter spring training without any restrictions as he continues his comeback from Tommy John surgery.
"Everything feels good -- no pain, no soreness," Liriano said. "Now I'm just waiting to get started." More arm problems are always a possibility, but there's little doubt Liriano will be in the rotation to start the year barring any setbacks. "I've been throwing bullpens, live batting practice and long-toss," Liriano said. "I threw fastballs, changeups and some sliders. And when I throw, I don't feel anything in my elbow."

Thats huge for the twins. im sure he'll be on a pitch count early, but they'll contend if they keep johan.

I'm still not convinced his delivery style will change at all, because thats what caused his arm issues in the first place from what I've read before.

My early thoughts on him this year is to fade him early in the year, but I'll have to do a bit more research once the NBA All-star break comes around.

yeah i'll try to watch him this spring and get a bit of a feel, but its got to be exciting if your a Twins fan. Still cant believe sf traded this kid.

Be interesting to see what kind of stuff he has compared to what he was before the injury Twins need him to perform badly with santana about to leave

hopefully they bring him back slowly, i would love to see him continue to pitch for the next 10-15 yrs.
