francisco liriano will probably be called back up to the majors after all star break im guessing

he pitches triple a in my hometown and got back to his normal self the past 5 starts just outstanding.

when he comes up please forget about the first part of the season it was his first starts since coming back from injury and obviously didnt catch his groove. well he is there now so watch out.

just an f.y.i hope it helps

[THECORRECTANSWER]

i was already keeping a close eye on this story and i believe you are correct going to share some more Francisco Liriano, pitching for Triple-A Rochester, has returned to the 3/4 arm slot that was so successful for him in 2006. The Twins had Liriano throwing more over the top during spring training and into the season, but Liriano said he struggled to command his fastball until he dropped back down to the 3/4 slot. Liriano is 6-0 with a 3.37 ERA and a 45:9 K:BB ratio over 42.2 innings since June 1. While his velocity may still be a few miles per hour lower than his pre-surgery form, he's improved his control and strikeout rate enough in recent weeks to warrant a promotion to the majors. However, the Twins don't have a spot open in the rotation and Minnesota also may also wait to call Liriano up until at least mid-July to avoid him qualifying for arbitration at the end of the year.

Thanks for the info, but honestly I will probably still fade Liriano until he proves to me that I shouldn't. He will get a lot of public money because of last season, but I don't think he's had one quality start yet this season, and although he might be pitching well in AAA there's a big difference between the minors and majors.

Good info though, it's appreciated.
