Twins manager Ron Gardenhire confirmed Friday that Francisco Liriano would open the season in the minors, making Nick Blackburn the fifth starter.
Liriano apparently will be optioned down rather than placed on the DL. He's scheduled to pitch for Fort Myers in five days, Triple-A Rochester five days later and then join the Twins. "By then, he should be stretched out to 100 pitches," Gardenhire said, "and we’ll bring him up with us."

Twins optioned LHP Francisco Liriano to Single-A Fort Myers.
Confirmation of the move reported earlier. Liriano is scheduled to make two minor league starts and then join Minnesota's rotation, though we all know how those plans can change

Doug Davis has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer, team president Derrick Hall told the Arizona Republic on Friday.
Davis is going to pitch tonight anyway and should make his first few starts of the regular season. However, he will undergo surgery, probably in late April, and will be out indefinitely after that. "We’re not sure about the timetable after that," Hall said. "We’re deeply saddened and concerned for Doug but we’re still in the process of collecting facts and applying that to timing." It sounds like it was caught early and the prognosis is very good. When Davis is sidelined, the Diamondbacks will probably go with Edgar Gonzalez in the rotation, though they also have Yusmeiro Petit as a fallback.
還好不是太嚴重的cancer!! 多多保重!!
