[Brock Landers]

The Chicago White Sox have traded for left-hander Francisco Liriano from the Minnesota Twins for infielder Eduardo Escobar and lefty Pedro Hernandez.

Liriano, 28, is 3-10 with a 5.31 ERA this season, shuffling between the team's rotation and bullpen. He has gone 50-52 with a 4.33 ERA during his eight major league seasons.
Liriano tossed a no-hitter against the White Sox on May 3, 2011.
Escobar was batting .207 with three RBI in 36 games this season with the White Sox. Hernandez is a combined 8-2 with a 2.94 ERA between Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte this season.

[HoulihansTX]

Hightly erratic, and not to counted on. Impossible to predict how a Liiriano outing will go.

[samgurt]

either way it's a good trade for the sox. they basically got him for nothing

[hydrosmak]

The fact that Minnesota was willing to give him up inside the division means something.

[zoo youk]

was thinking the same thing hydrosmak but still gor another arm for nuttin

Good thing about Liriano is by the start of the second inning you'll know if he's on or not.

Dude is either totally hot or totally ice cold.
