Message #7 by Rob Reed @ February 5, 2011, 11:35pm 27 years old and one year contract The Twins just signed him to a one-year deal... 27 years old. Everything to like.

Message #6 by Rob Reed @ September 2, 2010, 09:55pm everything to like High BABIP and still incredibly respectable numbers... love him for 2011... only allowed 3 HRs in 30 more IP than 2009, where he gave up 21 HRs. Drastic improvement... stud.

Message #5 by Rob Reed @ July 14, 2010, 10:03am might be able to grab him his numbers have been decent, but not spectacular... and considering his 6-7 record, you might be able to snag him for relatively cheap... his .339 BABIP means good things the rest of the way... a low 3 ERA is easily in the cards, in my opinion, which means he should be sub three the rest of the way

Message #4 by Rob Reed @ March 2, 2009, 08:12pm wish he was a sleeper... but everybody remembers how great he was in 2006... he is going pretty high in mock drafts right now in the 8th and 9th rounds... that's pretty high for a pitcher who has only thrown 76 innings in the last two years... I am definitely interested, but I don't want to pay for him like he's a #1 or #2... and I have a bad feeling that someone will in my money league.

Message #3 by Rob Reed @ 5/13/08, 2:16pm Not bad... I'm holding on to him, but when I checked his minor league stats late last week, they weren't very good. He is still struggling a little bit, but the latest news is his fastball has reached 95 mph last weekend. Hang on to him, if you can. Otherwise, I'd suggest Rich Hill.

Message #2 by PotterMarkus @ 5/9/08, 8:31am Comments That's funny! I did the same. Galarraga is not going to last. If Liriano finds his command in AAA, he could be a major force post all-star break. They are not going to make a mistake of bringing him back to early this time, but u better believe he'll be back!

Message #1 by mrbiglzwerth @ 5/9/08, 8:17am Good move? I'm in a 14 team league and I'm in 9th place. There is absolutely no starting pitching left so I just picked up Liriano as a free agent. His status is NA. I dropped Armando Galarraga to do so. Did I pull the trigger too fast and when do you think he'll be back?
