Whitesox acquire Francisco Liriano

Our pitching coach Don Cooper did fix Jose Contreas, Bobby Jenks, Matt Thornton and Gavin Floyd maybe he can do something for Liriano too. I suppose it's not a bad trade all we gave up was Eduardo Escobar a utility infielder and Pedro Hernandez a guy with potential but not very helpful this year. Plus it eats up some innings and having another Lefty might help Chris Sale with some more rest.Last edited by chicagowhitesox1173; 07-28-2012, 10:50 PM."(Shoeless Joe Jackson's fall from grace is one of the real tragedies of baseball.

I think it's a great low-risk trade. I love Liriano's stuff. His problem (at least what I saw earlier this year) came when he started nibbling around corners. He doesn't have the history to get the calls that are close. He'd get in trouble, put a runner or two on base and his stretch wasn't as good as his windup. I think he's best when he attacks the hitters and then keeps them off-balance and once in a while gives up a long ball. A solo bomb is better than what can happen when you give free rides to hitters. He's shown a few times this year glimpses of what he once was. Maybe playing for a team that can give him a bit better run support will loosen him up a bit as well. It's not fun when you're on a team that can't score runs."Chuckie doesn't take on 2-0. Chuckie's hackin'." - Chuck Carr two days prior to being released by the Milwaukee Brewers

His rookie year he looked like the lefthanded coming of Juan Marichal, he was that good before his injury."Chuckie doesn't take on 2-0.
