Why we we trade our Garland? He is signed cheaply (for the market) and he actually goes out there and pitches well. I don't care who you get, the player that comes back will not pitch like Garland.
I think we're getting close to saying "screw it" for this year and next basically, and going through a huge rebuilding process. It wouldn't shock me at all if we have 2 rookie starting pitchers in the rotation next year. I also think we'll re-sign Erstad, and Rowand will be brought into CF. In my opinion, KW probably feels like bringing in Rowand will negate a lot of the fan outrage when Buehrle, Garland, and Dye are gone.
