Is Liriano the key to 2009 success?

In my mind, the best argument for an improved Twins club in 2009 is the potential to have Francisco Liriano on the mound for more than the 76 innings he provided last season. Replace the nearly 140 innings that Livan Hernandez pitched last season with Liriano's arm, and that makes a huge difference.

  • Liriano: .520
  • Hernandez: .191

What do you think? Can any other single player make a bigger (positive) difference this season?
