Francisco Liriano had a bit of a rough day on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk, two of which were earned in two innings.Liriano has tremendous potential as he was amazing during his rookie year of 2006 before needing Tommy John surgery, which forced him to miss all of 2007. He went 6-4 in 14 starts last year with an ERA of 3.91. He'll probably be a late round pick in most drafts, but would be a high risk high reward type player if he were taken earlier.

Source (mlb.com) (P - min) | 0 comments.

The Twins would likely prefer to have Liriano remain in camp given the risks that come with pitchers participating in games so early. It would also give him the chance to complete a full camp, after he missed the first 12 days of Spring Training last year due to visa problems, setting him back in his preparation. Liriano said his official decision on whether he'll play in the event should come in the next few days, after he talks with the Twins and officials from the Dominican Republic's team.

News: Francisco Liriano insisted Tuesday he will not play for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic in March to focus on the upcoming season. "I'm going to stay here," he said. "I just want to do the right thing." Liriano said he hadn't told his Dominican teammates of his decision. "They might understand, because of my position here," Liriano said. "I'm going to be the second starter, No. 3, whatever -- they know this is my career." Twins manager Ron Gardenhire and pitching coach Rick Anderson said they did not pressure Liriano either way on the WBC. "Any time you have your pitchers day in and day out, that's a good thing," Anderson said. "Then again, I know how important it is for players to represent their country." Unlike last season, when Liriano arrived 10 days late because of a visa issue and then had to redevelop and refine his mechanics following the surgery, he has no such limitations this season, Anderson said.
