| Biography: |
Garland's groundball percentage of 49.9% was 4th highest in the American League last year among qualifying pitchers. That propensity to induce ground balls should help him to succeed in the hitter-friendly Chase Field so long as the Diamondbacks' infield defense, which is bad on paper, can play better this season.
Even if Garland does not pitch like the ace he was in the White Sox' 2005 Championship season, he has not failed to throw 190 innings in any of his seven years as a full-time starter. His solid, reliable innings will allow the Diamondbacks to take it easy on young phenom Max Scherzer's workload. |
