 Francisco Liriano
Minnesota Twins
Pitcher
2010 Projected Value: $0
2010 Actual Value: $17
Difference: $17
Based on 10-team AL-only league
Season Prognosis: Liriano is coming off a disappointing 2009 when he went 5-13 with a 5.80 ERA in 29 games (24 starts). If he can return to the form that he displayed in 2006, he will qualify as an ace. He still has great stuff, as shown by his control stats during his home starts. Reports say that he is throwing 94 MPH with a nasty slider in Dominican Winter ball. If he is available late in the draft, take a chance on him.
