Liriano owns an unimpressive 30:26 K:BB ratio in 34 innings this season, so while he will be starting again, don't count on him for much more than the innings at this point.","date":"Sat May 26"},"fullName":"Francisco Liriano","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"There might not be a pitcher in baseball whose ceiling and basement expectations represent a wider range than Liriano's. Look at his WAR (Wins Above Replacement) as evidence: His 6.0 mark from 2010 ranked eighth among pitchers, but his 1.0 of 2011 ranked 160th. The reasons for that are the velocity on Liriano's fastball and the break of his slider; they need to be in tip-top shape for him to be remotely helpful in fantasy. They wavered last season, and as such he'll need to earn our trust during spring training to be an attractive draft-day target in 2012. How lucky are you feeling? Based upon his strong spring, we'd understand if you were optimistic.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Tue Apr 3"},"playerRater30DAY":-3,"playerRater15DAY":-2,"positionRank":203}
