Wow. Putting Liriano in today is really really silly on the organizations behalf.

Sure, they are barely leading the WC race, but come on...the upside to having a HEALTHY Liriano for YEARS for CHEAP is SO SO SO SO SO much better than the *chance* that they *hold onto* the WC this year, while putting Liriano to risk.

Cliff notes: Maybe the org. was 99.9% sure that he was 100% healthy, so I'm not going to blame them per se, but I'm saying if I'm in charge, I wait until Liriano bangs down my office door demanding to go in before I put him in.

The upside is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE. Both absolutely, and financially. Just not worth the risk...
