Minnesota Twins starter Francisco Liriano will be just that -- a starter.
To be specific, Liriano will be the team's fifth starter, per Joe Christensen of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
With closer Joe Nathan out for the season after having Tommy John surgery, there was some talk about the potential for Liriano to close. Instead, the team will employ a closer-by-committee approach to save opportunities.
Liriano, who has pitched well in winter ball and spring training, threw six shutout innings today and is a guy you should target late in mixed-league drafts.
