| Player Notes |
| November 19, 2007 The Angels acquired Jon Garland Monday in exchange for Orlando Cabrera and cash, according to ESPN Radio. Garland will enter a very strong rotation in LA, joining John Lackey, Kelvim Escobar and Jered Weaver. One would think leaving U.S. Cellular Field would be good for Garland, but he's actually pitched better there over the last couple of years. |
| July 24, 2007 The Yankees have begun high-level meetings in Tampa to discuss possible trades as the deadline approaches. The New York Post reports the team may have interest in a pair of White Sox, Jon Garland and reliever Matt Thorton. A move to the Bronx would be nice for Garlands fantasy value because hell get to leave U.S. Cellular Field and play with a team thatll provide much more run support. |
| July 12, 2007 Jon Garland, despite suffering from a knot in his right shoulder, allowed two runs and eight hits over seven innings in winning his fourth straight start against Baltimore on Thursday. He struck out three and walked two. This was his first start since being hammered for 12 runs in 3 1/3 innings by Minnesota. |
| July 9, 2007 Jon Garland is again bothered by a knot in his right shoulder, though it's deeper now than it was during spring training. He said it doesn't hurt, but it does make it harder for him to loosen up and reduces his velocity, according to the Daily Southtown. "Definitely doesn't feel 100 percent," Garland said. "To me, I think it's something that's going to be with me for the rest of my career, so I either learn to pitch with it, learn to deal with it or I'm done." He's pitched really well this season, but he was shelled in his last outing for 11 earned runs over 3 1/3 innings pitched, so it's hard to think the knot didn't play a role in his struggles Friday. Nonetheless, he plans to take the mound on Thursday after the All-Star break. |
| July 6, 2007 Jon Garland tied a career-high by allowing 12 runs, 11 of them earned, in the first game of a doubleheader Friday afternoon. He gave up 11 hits, tying a season-high, walked three and did not strike out a batter in 3 1/3 innings. The thrashing was enough to raise his ERA from 3.15 to 3.92. |
| March 30, 2007 Jon Garland allowed five runs (four earned) in seven innings Thursday in his final spring start, the Chicago Tribune reports. Bothered by a knot near his shoulder earlier in spring, Garland said Thursday's outing was "by far" the best he has felt this spring. "I didn't have to get up and stretch it out over a seven-inning period," he said. "I was able to sit down and relax and go back out there and feel good. It's a good sign." |
| March 12, 2007 Jon Garland threw a bullpen session Sunday, according to the Chicago Tribune. Although Garland still had stiffness in his shoulder, pitching coach Don Cooper still hopes the problem will go away like it did last season after Garland's first start. "I just hope it comes around faster this year," Cooper said. "What we know is he comes out of it. He could still win with what he's got, but it can't change his approach [of being] aggressive, coming at people and all of those things. Slow your body down, guide the ball, those things can't happen because then you get in bad habits." |
| March 10, 2007 After his second subpar outing in three spring training starts, Jon Garland said on Friday that he has a "knot" in his right shoulder. He said it doesn't hurt but it makes it difficult to throw the ball where he wants to. "I kind of have that same feeling that I did towards the end of spring last year," Garland told the AP. "It just feels tight. Last year somehow it worked its way out, and hopefully it works its way out this year." |
