    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.

    He's a proven veteran.

    Pretty solid deal, IMO. Garland might struggle a bit since the Diamondbacks don't have the greatest infield defense, and he's notorious for being a ground-ball pitcher, but if he's anywhere near where he usually is he'll give them a formidable 1-3, with Webb and Haren in the one and two slots.

    I'm not the only one who knows the truth about Matt Ryan.

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

    But he was a proven veteran. That's all that matters.
