Over the winter, the Angels decided to acquire Jon Garland to bolster their rotation. In Chicago, Garland’s seasonal performances were something of a model of consistency; 200 IP with a 4.50 or so ERA. The Angels wanted that kind of stability, so they gave up their shortstop, Orlando Cabrera , to get Garland. Unfortunately for them, they may not have noticed that Garland had taken a ... [link]

THT Live:Garland not missing bats
Published 4/24/2008 by Bryan Tsao at The Hardball Times
Garland not missing bats by Bryan Tsao April 24, 2008 Jon Garland has started slow for the Angels, and Dave Cameron notes that he's not missing any bats . I agree that that level of performance is not very sustainable, but would imagine that Garland is probably either injured or will regress toward his career averages as the season goes on. When pitchers get poor results, it almost always means that their components are off in some way. But even variations in more "core" components, such as contact rate, can be misleading in the short run. In my opinion, it remains to be ...

Masterson Good; Bullpen Wasn’t As Sox Lose

beisbolct posted 4/24/2008 from soxanddawgs.com

The Los Angeles Angels couldn’t do much of anything with Boston rookie starter Justin Masterson. They just had to wait to get him out of the game and get into the usually solid Boston bullpen. Los Angeles got four runs in the seventh off of a trio of Red Sox pitchers to overcome a 3-1 deficit and turn it into a late 7-5 win over Boston Thursday afternoon at sunny Fenway Park.
