Notes, comments and me on the radio

• Francisco Liriano hadn't gone more than four innings in any spring training outing. This afternoon he went six — six innings, three hits, three walks, eight strikeouts, zero runs. Another good sign for him as a member of the rotation vs. closing.
• The Tigers on Tuesday traded Nate Robertson to Florida for a minor league pitcher. This probably means that both Jeremy Bonderman and Dontrelle Willis will open the season in Detroit's rotation.
• I taped this morning a segment with Pete Steiner for KTOE radio's "Talk of the Town" program. Pete said it will air at 1 p.m. Thursday. I've long said my face was made for radio and my voice for newspapers. Now we'll have evidence of the latter.
