 USATODAY.com - Liriano ready to emerge from shadows   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
It is a comparison Francisco Liriano can't avoid, even though it isn't altogether accurate.
Liriano was concerned when his first organization, San Francisco, signed him for $700,000 and then, in 2001, converted him from an outfielder to a pitcher at the urging of Rick Ragazzo, the club's director of international operations.
Liriano struck out 174 in 156 2/3 innings at Class A and AA and took the momentum into 2005.

 FakeTeams :: Twins: Strikeout king Francisco Liriano soon to be starting   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
Liriano has a 4.24 ERA and 1.53 WHIP, but those numbers belie his true dominance, which is reflected in 25 strikeouts and just four walks over 17 innings.
Gardenhire said Liriano has reached a point where he could throw 60 to 65 pitches in an outing, a number that would equate to about five innings if the left-hander is efficient.
Liriano is most likely not available in most AL-only leagues, but now that he's on the cusp of starting, he's worth considering in all formats.

 Fantasy Baseball Profile - Francisco Liriano

It is to the point where he is unobtainable at the $10 pool pick-up salary, and the talk about him beginning in AAA is undeterring.
Liriano will just be protected and replaced at the end of the draft.
He stunk (and has continued to stink), and anyone who considered him an integral part of their 2004 season likely did worse than projected.

 Brew Crew Ball :: Francisco Liriano/Cole Hamels   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
Francisco Liriano, aka The Best Pitching Prospect In Baseball, has been moved into the Twins' rotation.
The Twins got Liriano in their version of the Richie Sexson deal, trading A.J. Pierzynski to the Giants for Liriano, Joe Nathan and the heroically-named Boof Bonser.
Anyway, this is especially notable because Liriano is now slated to make his first Major Leauge start on Friday against the Brewers, the day after they face another uber-prospect, the Phillies' Cole Hamels, who pitched rather well in his debut.
