Apparently the roto gods are not willing to let a baseball team turn a bum like AJ Pierzynski into both an elite closer (Joe Nathan) and the top young arm in all of baseball (Francisco Liriano).  This just in:
 
  Francisco Liriano - P, MIN Aug 1 7:4 PM
Liriano has been scratched from Wednesday?s start because of pain near his left elbow, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press.RotoWire.com Recommends: Uh oh. The Twins downplayed the severity of the injury, calling the decision to skip a start a precautionary measure. The decision was made Monday after Liriano continued to experience discomfort during his between-starts bullpen session. ?It?s nothing to be alarmed about,? pitching coach Rick Anderson said. ?It?s just that he?s a young kid with a bright future, and you don?t want to mess with it.? Needless to say, keep a close eye on this situation.

 
Unfortunately, this type of soreness is exactly the reason why the Giants traded him in the first place.  Well....it was fun while it lasted.
 
That is all.
