Hate Santana's mechanics too?  Pretty good comp for Liriano in that regard.  Would I trade Lopez for him? No.  Would I write him off as an injury-riddled flame out? No.  Nearly all of these guys sustain a major injury at some point.  He is a max-effort delivery guy who cross-fires a touch and doesn't get his hand out of the break quick enough.  Those are fixable flaws and his performance a few seasons back earns him a long look if I own him.  I think he fits in the back-end of a rotation for a season to see if it comes back.  Not worried about the fb, its the slider that I would look at.  I would hope that the observation of a violent motion wouldn't turn folks off out of hand, as we just signed a certain young pitcher with that trait to a pretty hefty contract.
