Jon Garland wants out of Arizona

19braves77 · Jul 23, 2009

This team reminds me of the 1988 Orioles. Everybody wanted out of that clubhouse.

Garland:

"When I came sat down and went over the three runs they had scored I give them maybe one. We [not me] gave them the other two, flat out. To me, we're [the other guys on this team] going out there and playing like a last-place team. I don't see any fight in them. I don't see anyone that wants it."

If I was Garland, I would start playing better before I say something like this.

This comment is rumored to be directed at Upton for his poor play.

First of all Garland is in no place to say something like this, the guy is an average pitcher. Why do players do this just shut up and play things happen bad nights occur (unfortunately for the d-backs happen on several ocassions) But the last thing is dont "direct" comments towards a future star (upton) Who basically is the team long with reynolds. So Garland shut your ass and play

It is directed to Upton, but Garland and as anyone else for that matter does not need to throw any of there
team mates under a bus. I say Jon who the hell would want you, since your not playing well right now. Maybe KC
would give up no one for you, or even the Nat's.

On a side note Brain Anderson asked the Whitesox to trade him, If I was kenny I would just release him
since he was not the answer to center field, because they went out and got Scoot Pod's since he was not getting it done.

I saw a game a couple of weeks ago against the Marlins when they put up a 10 spot in the 7th inning and I think its all gone downhill since then, or about a week after Hinch took over.

The DBacks pitching was poor, the defense was poor, and not fundamental, and with the crowd included, it looked as though NO ONE wanted to be there.

Basically , this team is a bunch of talented young players that don't gel well together.

Every year that you hold off from a complete rebuild you make it that much harder when you do

id like to have him on my team........... then again im a mets fan

Garland is a great pitcher, when he's on a team that can play good defense.

jbone17 · Jul 23, 2009

Can't blame the guy. :lol:

craiger122003 · Jul 23, 2009

We will take him in St Louis we will trade Wellemeyer and cash
the DBacks sorely need cash

Wes · Jul 24, 2009

Guy should have taken arbitration. Biggest mistake of the offseason.

nkdbacks · Jul 24, 2009

Whoever wants him can take him.

I'm not sure what his problem is. Sorry you lost, but people like Haren lose more often than you when they shouldn't, and Haren is a better pitcher than Garland ever was or will be.

Since Mark Reynolds made his little speech in Colorado before the All-Star break, the team has greatly improved its attitutde and accordingly, they are 10-6. Sorry they screwed up your game Jon, but the team is still playing better overall.

Get out of town.

Mets trade Livan Hernandez for Jon Garland.

What??? That makes sense. It makes JUST as much sense as the Francoeur/Church trade!

::facepalm:: The guy had 1 1/2 good years in the bigs. The second 18 win season he had a 4.5 ERA and he also has a 4.41 career ERA. The best thing he brings to a team is that he can eat-up innings. C'mon Jon, if you were that damn good you would have a better situation, deal with the one you have and be lucky you are even in the majors.

I've wanted him on the Cardinals for a few years now. He'd be so much better than Welle.

I agree that he shouldnt speak about anyones play, but to call him average is a little bit of a reach IMO.

Just looking at his stats.
2 x 18 win seasons.
7 straight double digit win seasons.

When your starter can consistantly go 6 innings giving up 3 runs, which equates to a 4.50 ERA over 9 innings, thats a pretty damn good pitcher nowadays if you ask me.

The numbers say he is pretty average. ERA+ of 104.
