Through the first 8 starts out of the 5th starter spot we've seen a complete reversal of fortune. The difference in our record through 41 games this year compared to last can be directly attributed to the performance we've received from Garland out of that spot.

Can't we stop pretending Garland is the #5 yet? The Cubans are 4 and 5.
If the playoffs were to start today, I'd want him to start the first game. I'm not saying he is our 5th starter after the start he's had...thats just the role he has pitched in thus far.
