Francisco Liriano will open the year at Single-A Fort Myers
Francisco Liriano will open the year at Single-A Fort Myers and pitch their season opener, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. He'll then join Triple-A Rochester five days later and make a start for them before joining the Twins rotation. "By then, he should be stretched out to 100 pitches," manager Ron Gardenhire said, "and we'll bring him up with us."Coming back from Tommy John surgery, Liriano looked good in his final spring start Friday, but he's struggled overall. Barring a setback, it sounds like he'll be with the big club in mid-April.
