He will be used as a starter in 2017, or at least he should be. Starting 5 will be Sanchez, Stroman, Happ, Estrada, and Liriano.
I'd be quite disappointed if the Jays moved Liriano to the pen as I think he could win 13-14 games. That said, it's not out the realm of possibility that they could use him to a fill a LH bullpen spot as his salary is on the roster, and fill the 5th starting spot with someone else from within the system/roster or the waiver wire.
