At this point, I don't know if he'd be able to shake it all off and be a contributer (although I think its far more likely than Jeff Manship contributing), but I think after a season to rest his mind and body, he will be an average to above average pitcher next year. Unless Ronny and BS give up and put him in the bull pen.Steven Ellingsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023063969965767482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-71048627135484565342009-09-24T10:35:46.413-05:002009-09-24T10:35:46.413-05:00Very well put.Very well put.Nick N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00848574337121154690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-22564439224041732882009-09-24T08:22:48.960-05:002009-09-24T08:22:48.960-05:00About that game-tying double to Konerko.

I think Cuddyer probably gets to that ball; Span surely does. Seems to have been the story of Liriano's season. Bad luck coupled with pitching below expectations = disaster season. Hopefully he can rectify that (and his manager can rectify his defense).Davidhttp://www.twinsfix.comnoreply@blogger.com
