I have to admit that I'd never heard of the guy until I saw BA's Prospect Hot Sheet but I only follow the Reds system and the top guys for fantasy purposes.  His line this year is unbelievable so far at Frederick.

10 IP/2 H/4BB/22 K

I looked up his page at baseballcube and they didn't have any biographical information on him.  Last year was his first year in the minors at age 21.  Based on his stats from last year, it looks like he has a bit of a control problem but his stuff must be filthy.  22 Ks in 10 IP.  Is this guy this years Liriano, quick riser up the prospect charts or are his first 2 games a fluke?  And where did he come from?

I don't have the information in front of me
but I believe that he played in the DSL for at least a couple seasons before 2005.  He is considered a legitimate prospect with a very live arm.

Not to turn this into a commercial, but if you'd read my book you'd know about Liz...page 242. :)

I was about to say the same thing John
I first read about Liz in John's book this year.  I liked the write up an highlighted him in yellow.

Also, I'm not sure if I would say Liriano was a riser on prospect charts.  Sure, he moved to the top of most lists, but he has been on the prospect radar since he was with the Giants.
