It gets longer the older one gets. TR told me last week Liriano was ready to go, and Baker would stay back. Well, he was right on both accounts. Liriano is ready to go. He could just as easily throw with the big boys as down there. The injury risk is the same. The situation with his wife probably was taken into account, and gives them a good chance to take a look at Blackburn. He looked good to me this spring also. And, there'll be a need for starting pitching from AAA as this season progresses. So, now the games count! I don't expect too much, but hopefully an increase on wins from last year. It all comes down to pitching. It was good to see you around this spring. LEN3 - I completed that long drive back last night. It gets longer the older one gets.
