Thats a playoff team... I still don't know why these guys are unsigned haha, maybe a new franchise should just sign all of them lol

[browntown653]

Truly incredible.

[ljshorty89]

No Jon Garland?

[love_that_reefer]

Nope, no Jon Garland. Not after his 4.90 ERA showing last year.

[ljshorty89]

Yeah, but he's only 29....I'd trust him more than Pettite.

[love_that_reefer]

Not on a one year deal. Garland has never been that good and doesn't strike too many out. Plus Pettitte's a lefty and its my team

[ljshorty89]

Haha, all true. But you already have Wolf and Perez as lefties, you don't need TOO many lefties.

[love_that_reefer]

Three lefties isn't too many. My Giants are hoping to contend with three

[ljshorty89]

I'm just saying, you can argue Garland's lack of worth(despite his consistency being better than Pettite's), but I wouldn't base my decision on Pettite being a lefty when you already have 2. It's not like you NEED a lefty....

[love_that_reefer]

I am basing it on Pettitte, despite his old age, being better than Garland.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

Over the last 3 years:

Pettitte - 633 IP, ERA's of 4.20, 4.04, and 4.55
Garland - 602 IP, 4.51, 4.23, and 4.90

How can you say Garland is more consistent than Pettitte?

[ljshorty89]

Fewer walks, lower WHIP, younger, less likely to fall apart.

[love_that_reefer]

More likely to lose a ballgame.

[ljshorty89]

That's debateable. Is he less likely to win a game? Maybe. More likely to lose? I'm not sure.
