November 23, 2008 Jon Garland is on the Mets' radar, according to the NY Daily News. Our View:Garland is coming off a disappointing campaign with the Angels as he held a poor 4.90 ERA and 1.51 WHIP, and the Mets could view him as a bargain signing if they fail to land their high-priced targets, such as Derek Lowe. |
|
October 8, 2008 Impending free agent Jon Garland is not likely to re-sign with the Angels, according to the LA Times. Our View:He was acquired in the deal that shipped veteran shortstop Orlando Cabrera to Chicago, but the Angels are looking to free up money to make a run at a top free agent, such as CC Sabathia. Garland won 14 games in 2008, but held a poor 4.90 ERA and 1.51 WHIP. |
|
September 26, 2008 Count Jon Garland as someone who doesn't believe that his regular season performance warrants a start in the playoffs, according to the Los Angeles Times. "If it was my decision, I wouldn't be a starter, not with what I've seen from Ervin Santana, John Lackey, Joe Saunders and Jered Weaver," Garland said. Our View:Garland has posted a 7.22 ERA over his last seven starts but he is still 3-0 in that stretch thanks to an average of 8.29 runs of support per start in that stretch. We give Garland props for honestly assessing the situation, and we agree with him, he should pitch out of the bullpen. |
|
September 21, 2008 If Angels manager Mike Scioscia opts for a four-man rotation in the playoffs, he will have to choose between Jon Garland or Jered Weaver, with the other headed to the bullpen, according to the L.A. Times. Our View:Though Garland has 14 wins to Weaver's 11, Garland otherwise has worse numbers pretty much across the board, making it likely he will be the one headed to the 'pen. |
|
September 19, 2008 Soon-to-be free agent Jon Garland had a forgettable night in Texas on Friday. The Rnagers got to him for nine runs in 2.1 innings of work. He surrendered 10 hits and a three-run shot to rookie Chris Davis. Our View:Remarkably, Garland avoided the loss as the Angels came back to win this slugfest 15-13. Expect Garland to rebound in his next outing. |
|
August 13, 2008 The Angels put the offense on the field to support RHP Jon Garland . Garland pitched seven innings, allowing three runs (all earned) on nine hits with one walk and four strikeouts. Our View:Garland went 3-1 last month and now has his first win for August. He's giving up runs, but the offense keeps pulling him through. |
|
August 12, 2008 The Angels square off against the Seattle Mariners tonight, and though the M's do not have a great hitting team, they pound Halos starter Jon Garland. Players currently on Seattle's roster have combined to hit .333 (48-for-144) in their career against him, led by Raul Ibanez and his .373 mark, Ichiro's .371 average, and Adrian Beltre's .357 average. Our View:If you have Garland on your fantasy squad, it may not be the best night to start him. On the other hand, double check to be sure Ibanez, Ichiro and Beltre are all in there. |
|
July 31, 2008 Angels hurler Jon Garland picked up his tenth win of the season by throwing an efficient six innings, surrendering three earned runs on seven hits in the team's 12-6 win over New York. Our View:Garland is a steady if unspectacular performer, and should only be used in AL-only leagues, as his overall numbers aren't good enough to be utilized in mixed leagues. |
|
July 20, 2008 Angels RHP Jon Garland failed to get the win, but his teammates made sure the offense came through late to put the Boston to the loss, 5-3. Garland went 6 2/3 innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits with three walks and six strikeouts. Our View:This was a nice rebound for Garland after surrendering seven runs over 2 2/3 innings in his last outing. He failed to get the decision today and now stands at 8-6 on the season with a 4.12 ERA. |
|
July 18, 2008 The Angels had scheduled Jon Garland to make the start against Boston on Saturday, but reports of neck pain have led the team to push him back to Sunday, according to the Orange County Register. Our View:Joe Saunders, fresh off his appearance in the All-Star game, will be moved up to Saturday to fill in for Garland. Garland is 1-0 against the Red Sox this season, but has an ERA of 6.00. He is only 4-5 in his career against Boston with an ERA of 5.57 (39 earned runs in 63 innings pitched). |
|
July 11, 2008 Jon Garland, 4-10 in his career against Oakland, was pulled out of the game in the bottom of the third after allowing seven runs on 10 hits and two walks. Our View:After allowing just one run in nine innings five days ago, this is a disappointment. This has to be viewed as an anommally. He was 8-5 with a 3.76 entering Friday's game. |
|
July 6, 2008 Jon Garland threw a complete game against the Blue Jays on Sunday. He gave up just one run, a solo shot by Rod Barajas, and six hits on the day. Our View:This was one of few quality starts for Garland at home where he had a 4.70 ERA prior to Sunday's start. He is 5-1 with a 3.06 ERA on the road. Over his last four appearances, he has a 2.57 ERA. |
|
June 14, 2008 Jon Garland allowed five runs and 12 hits, walked one and struck out four in a 5-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Friday night. Our View:The right-hander was finding success (3-0 with a 2.28 ERA over his previous seven starts) far above what his peripheral were representing. His 3.87 K Rate and 3.23 BB Rate coming into the game indicated that Garland was due to blow up. And while he walked only one and struck out four in the game, he was in the middle of the plate far too much to be successful. |
|
June 7, 2008 Jon Garland entered the game averaging 2.58 K/9 only to strike out eight Athletics on his way to allowing two runs over seven innings to pick up his sixth victory of the year. Our View:Where did this performance come from? Garland didn't have a single game with more than five K this season, but he has been on his game with just five runs allowed over his last three starts. Still, it's tough to recommend a pitcher who strikes out so few batters. |
|
June 1, 2008 Jon Garland threw 115 pitches over five innings, matching his shortest outing in 12 starts with the Angels. He allowed three runs on five hits, walked four and struck out three in the no-decision. Our View:It's begun in a quiet kind of way. Garland walks four this outing, gives up runs in each of the first three innings, and escapes the loss because the Jays bullpen blows the ninth inning lead. The no-decision kept his career record against Toronto at 10-2, but the outing was just the first of many more like this to yet to come. The right-hander has been the benefactor of a high Strand Rate and evidence of that comes from his 2.39 K Rate and 3.14 Walk Rate. Owners that roster Garland should shop him fast while his value is still high. |
|
May 27, 2008 Jon Garland didn't earn his sixth win of the season on Monday night, but he pitched well enough to do so. The Angels right-hander allowed only four hits, walked three and struck out five in 7.1 scoreless innings. Our View:Garland, for the second straight start, has pitched over his head. As long as he keeps the ball on the ground he has a chance to be successful. In this game the Tigers were sloppy in their situational hitting and impatient at the plate resulting in a positive outing by the LA veteran. However, don't expect a pitcher with a 1.96 K/9 ratio to have anything more than a .500 record, at best. These kinds of outings for Garland are supposed to net him a win, because they will be few and far between. |
|
May 26, 2008 Jon Garland will be targeting his sixth win of the season when the Angels host the Tigers tonight, according to MLB.com. Garland is 13-6 over 24 career outings against the Tigers, with a 4.08 ERA Our View:Garland is 5-3 this season, but has a 4.34 ERA and a weak 1.48 WHIP over 64.1 innings, with a mere 14 strikeouts. He has been erratic from start to start, and remains a risky fantasy option, despite a favorable history against Detroit. |
|
May 9, 2008 Angels starter Jon Garland allowed no runs and four hits over eight innings in a no-decision against Tampa Bay on Friday night. The veteran right-hander walked three and struck out two before being replaced by Justin Speier in the ninth. Our View:Speier proceeded to give up a leadoff single to B.J. Upton in the ninth and after retiring Carlos Pena allowed rookie third baseman Even Longoria to end the game with a two-run home run. |
|
May 3, 2008 Jon Garland improved to 4-3 for the season in Saturday's 3-1 win over Baltimore. Garland only allowed one run on three hits over eight innings, with one walk and one strikeout. Our View:Garland is going to have more strong outings like today, but his strikeout totals are going to remain low, as he only has 10 over 44.1 innings. He carried a poor 1.73 WHIP heading into today's game as well. He is a solid starter for the Angels, but his numbers don't translate well as a fantasy performer. |
|
April 23, 2008 Jon Garland will take the mound against Boston tonight, according to MLB.com. He is currently 2-2 with a 4.81 ERA, and is 3-5 with a 5.53 ERA against the Red Sox lifetime. Our View:Garland looked very strong at times in the early going this season, but still only racked up three strikeouts over 24.1 innings, and will be headed for a tough game tonight, while opposed by Daisuke Matsuzaka, who is 4-0 with a 3.14 ERA. |
|
April 18, 2008 Jon Garland recorded his second win of the season in a 5-3 win over the Kansas City Royals. Garland allowed two runs and seven hits over 6.1 innings of work. The right-hander issues three walks and struck out one. Our View:Garland has beaten Kansas City more often than any team on his resume. The right-hander is 17-6 against the Royals and 11-1 at home. |
|
April 12, 2008 Jon Garland suffered another poor outing this time at the hands of the Mariners as he allowed 12 hits and walk in five innings. Garland also allowed six runs, though only three where earned, as he fell to 1-2 on the year. Our View:Through three starts Garland owns a 5.50 ERA and a total of two, yes two, K over 18 IP. Unless he misses more bats, the struggles will likely continue. |
|
April 12, 2008 Jon Garland is set to take the hill today against Seattle, a team that he has fared well against, according to MLB.com. Garland is 6-2 with a 3.15 ERA over his career against the Mariners. Our View:Garland should have another solid outing against the Mariners, and should be in your lineups. |
|
April 7, 2008 Jon Garland was impressive in his debut for Los Angeles last week, holding the Twins to one run and six hits over eight innings of a 9-1 victory. That wasn't the case on Sunday when the Angels right-hander allowed seven runs and eight hits in five innings. Garland is a reserve mixed league option at best, and these kinds of appearances, home and away, will be the norm this season. The Angels picked Garland up to be an innings-eater, not an ace. |
|
April 1, 2008 Jon Garland had quite a debut for the Angels Tuesday, holding the Twins to just one run on six hits and one walk over eight innings. He did not strike out a batter. It's hard to sustain success with so few strikeouts, but Garland has done just that the last few years. He won't have any troubles getting Ws in Anaheim this year. |
|
April 1, 2008 Jon Garland is set to make his Angels' debut on Tuesday, according to The Sports Network. He was a key contributor during Chicago's magical run in 2005, and he is going to be counted on heavily by his new club, namely due to injuries to ace John Lackey and Kelvim Escobar. He will go up against Boof Bonser and the Twins. |
|
March 28, 2008 Jon Garland was solid in a no decision against the Dodgers on Thursday, as he only allowed one run on five hits over five innings of work, with one walk and one strikeout. He lowered his ERA to 2.57 and ended his spring training on a high note. |
