After a terrible outing in which he couldn't get out of the first inning yesterday, Twins starter Francisco Liriano has been sent to Triple-A Rochester. He is 0-3 with a 11.32 ERA and has exhibited no control. He only pitched 2/3 innings yesterday and allowed six runs. I told you to be patient since he was coming off Tommy John surgery. Liriano could have value late in the season. Bobby Korecky was recalled to take his spot.

Adam,
what is your take on Tulowitzki?
I like Tulowitzki, even though I don't own him in any leagues this season. He is off to a slow start and he does strike out a lot. But if you own him, you have to ride it out. He started slowly last season too and hit very well down the stretch. You can't trade him now because you won't get fair value since his stock is down. If you can get a real good player, then sure, but I doubt you can get that right now. Many players start slow, like Garrett Atkins last season. It's magnified with Tulowitzki because people throw around the sophomore slump syndrome. I think you need to excercise patience.
I was actually thinking of taking a stab at him in a deal involving Furcal but am hesitant.
