Good news for the 'F-Bomb'- Liriano not going to have surgery!

Atleast for the time being, it will be a re-hab without surgery!

Wow, I don't think anyone expected that- after seeing him go down.

Makes you wonder if he would not have had those 2 starts after the injury he he could have played in the playoffs.

I have seen this backfire though. He may find out in spring training that he needed surgery after-all and may miss the entire season.

looks like we are going to have another prior on our hands. He isnt the biggest of guys and once you start having those arm problems there pretty tough to shake

I hope your wrong, but I was about to post the same thing.

What a great talent. I sure hope it does not go to waste.

I thought Kerry Woods would be almost to 180 wins by now 10 years ago.

Santana isn't a big guy either...neither was Ron Guidry or Vida Blue...but I understand, the game is different now...pitchers don't hold up near as well.

Agreed on this point.
