  • 2k17: Francisco Liriano

    Let's see... where to begin?

    -Went to the Pirates in 2013 where Ray Searage fixed him (16-8, 3.02)
    -Kind of blah in 2014 (7-10, 3.38, 1.30 WHIP and 4.5 BB/9)
    -Somewhat better in 2015 (12-7, 3.38 again but a 1.21 WHIP with only 3.4 BB/9)
    -So bad to start 2016 (6-11, 5.46, 5.5 BB/9) that the Pirates paid the Blue Jays 2 pretty good prospects in 2016 to get rid of him
    -Reunited with Russell Martin, was really good for the Jays down the stretch, and posted a 2.92 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 49.1 innings (2.9 BB/9)

    In 14.1 innings in spring training he has struck out TWENTY-FIVE hitters, and only walked 4.

    Skydome and the AL East scares me to death, and the fact that he could easily go back to walking 4 or 5 guys per 9 doesn't help, but a lot of smart people are hyping him this year.

      I like him as the Jays fifth starter. He went for $15(!) in my AL only. I was in on him for a few bucks but he quickly surpassed my max bid. His owner is new this year and also owns Estrada $15, so maybe he's a Jays homer?

      I wanted to type "2010 stats?" but I think I was too stunned.

        There was an article somewhere - and I'm forgetting where - that outlined Liriano's ST performance versus regular season performance, and it uncannily tracked. After that came out, I've noticed the hype train really beginning to roll since he's having a great ST.

            Might you be indicating the hype train derailed while carrying flammable materials and blew up ?

              He couldn't throw a strike last night. Some are going to wonder why Martin wasn't catching him, but it wouldn't have mattered. His 2-seamer had way too much armside run on it so he could never get to his changeup

                Buy "low" or avoid for 2017?

                  I still like him. He may be a guy you avoid in bad matchups, as opposed to a horse.
