This is a bit out of date now, but last week, the White Sox traded for Francisco Liriano and immediately said publicly that they thought they could “fix” him. At Twinkie Town, we said: well, good luck with that.

In the event, we know what happened: Liriano put together a typical Liriano start, pitching six innings and striking out eight but also walking four and throwing way, way too many pitches to get through six innings. He’s the same. He’ll always be the same, no matter how much “fixing” he gets.
