I don't know if the Yankees would bite on that. The Twins, as you said, are justifiably asking for the moon, and I think theyre more likely to keep Liriano and either extend him for a reasonable price or take the draft picks when the time to make that decision comes. I do not think they're going to get hosed like they did with the Santana deal.
I'll have to do some more digging on him, then. Could've sworn I read somewhere that he could come up and pitch for the Yankees today. I'll have to scour my Keith Law prospect rankings. I don't think Montero going down is such a bad thing. Let him get some time in AAA to get going and build his confidence back up, and when he's ready, he will get his chance.

20 is really young for anyone to break into the majors. We may see Noesi, Betances, etc.etc. I just don't think he'd be ready today. It's better to maybe wait a while longer let him be in the minors then at some point you let Colon go and let him get his feet wet by being sixth starter sometimes for this season then he'll be ready to be a number 2 or a number 3 come 2012 or 2013.
They might be going the Bryce Harper route. Which I don't think is such a bad idea. Bryce Harper is ready to go right now. But, he will probably end up being a September call up. And maybe they are hoping Banuelous is a September call up too.
