They did this with Johan Santana and they are largely considered idiots for keeping him in long relief for as long as they did. GM Terry Ryan was patient enough with Liriano; this injury was going to happen no matter what.

well to be fair, santana has never had any injury problems. maybe cuz he was babied early on? who knows. its easy to look back and say "i told you so" but who knows how things would have worked out if done differently.

and also according to espn, liriano felt perfectly fine in a rehab start and the org didn't think they rushed him back in. if anything, if liriano needs surgery, it is better now than later so he can be ready to go at the beginning of 07 rather than the middle of it.
