faba Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 White Sox trade RHP Jon Garland to Angels for SS Cabrera td.yspwidearticlebody { font-size: 13.5px; }By RICK GANO, AP Sports Writer November 19, 2007 CHICAGO (AP) -- The White Sox traded right-hander Jon Garland to the Los Angeles Angels on Monday for shortstop Orlando Cabrera. The 28-year-old Garland, an 18-game winner in 2005 and 2006, was 10-13 with a 4.23 ERA in 32 starts last season. He 92-81 with a 4.41 ERA in 246 games, including 223 starts, over eight major league seasons, all with the White Sox. Garland was acquired by the White Sox from the Cubs on July 29, 1998, for pitcher Matt Karchner. Cabrera, 33, batted .301 with 35 doubles, eight home runs, 86 RBIs and a career-high 101 runs with the Angels last year. He had a career-high 192 hits. He won his second Gold Glove and led AL shortstops in fielding percentage (.983). Cabrera, who has also played with Montreal and Boston during his 11-year career, is a career .273 hitter. He was on the 2004 Red Sox team that won the World Series. Chicago also receives cash as part of the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon88 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 this trade makes no sense to me from the Angels side. Garland isnt that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeShelter Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I like it as the Angels have kids to replace Cabrera who is 33. Deal likely is a indicator of just how weak the 07 free agent SP market is. If Garland pitches to his 05 form the deal is very good for Anaheim. Question on the WSox end is why the deal when they just gave Uribe 4.5 million? Maybe he moves to 2B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor99 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I think this opens the door for Tejada to the Angels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Miguel Cabrera could be on their radar also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
