When Garland pitches well, every Sox fan in Chicago drools over the idea of having him in the rotation for years to come. And when Garland has a bad outing, everyone cries General Manager Ron Schueler has no choice but to make a move for another starter before the July 31 trading deadline.
People have to realize that it'll take time.
You can't jump to conclusions. White Sox manager Jerry Manuel knows the drill, too, but he's confident Garland's talent will override his inexperience in the long run. It's a tough thing to ask of those type of players, putting them in that situation. But we have to ride it through, because that's where we are. Garland was knocked out with one out in the fifth inning and the White Sox trailing 6-0.
