Reports last week said that Garland turned down a 2 year, $14 million proposal from them. Ha.
Weird that they didn't just keep Johnson though, he was coming up on 300 wins and would not have signed for more. I know he won't pitch as many innings as Garland but he's the better pitcher and even if he's moving to the NL he's moving to a hitters friendly park.

They're so similar!
Yeah, Garland's gonna implode any day now, but this isn't a bad deal on a one-year term.
This is a little off topic, buT I am still confused on why Baltimore reacquired Traschel in 08...
He's a proven veteran.Quote:

Yes, but he had struggled there already, was not going to get any better, and then, as predicted, bombedQuote:
