Fantasy owners who draft, or roster in-season, Liriano are always hoping for a return to his glory years of 2006 or 2010, and remember that his 2006 wasn't even a complete season. He simply cannot throw strikes on a consistent basis: He walked 12.6 percent of the hitters he faced last season, fourth worst in the majors, and he located his pitches in the strike zone only 45 percent of the time, the 10th-worst rate in the majors. Liriano does possess a filthy slider, and when his other offerings hit their spots, he can rival the best in the game for short spurts; his no-hitter on May 3, 2011, serves as an example of that. But make no mistake: Drafting and/or owning Liriano requires plenty of aspirin and antacids.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":1,"playerRater15DAY":3.3,"positionRank":104}
