Perhaps when everyone is back, Liriano goes to the pen instead. Though his contract is expiring so maybe Biagini goes back to the pen for a bit to save on innings and then Liriano is traded at the deadline.
Yeah with Smoak holding down 1B, when Pearce is back from injury Pearce should get a chance at LF to show why we were excited about his signing.
He messed up his first chance at 1B, let's hope he does better this time.
