Is Liriano expected back for Minny this yr?

[whormoan]

Anyone know his status?

 

[Illini]

I heard a long time ago that 2008 was the earliest he'd be back.

 

[ShiftyMac]

out for this year guaranteed, possible next year

 

[billhill999]

Completely shut down this year and probably all star break of '08

 

[DChosta]

nah.. next season, Tommy John surgery takes at least a year to about 18 months for full recovery.

 

[ShiftyMac]

i think his career is over anyway...he'll comeback and get re-injured, his motion and shoulder throwing is too filthy....

What A Shame

Another Mark Pryor! So many "1 yr wonders" over the yrs, for most the pitching motion is not a natural one. Too much unintended stress. How some i.e. Clemens, Smoltz, Maddux etc. are able to do it yr after yr is amazing. I hold my breath every time Johan goes out.
