Angels probable pitcher

Jon Garland

  • RHP
  • (0-0) -.-- ERA 0 SO
Garland has been exactly what the Angels thought they were getting when they shipped Orlando Cabrera to the White Sox for him: a strike thrower who keeps his defense in the game and doesn't beat himself. He could be back in the form that made him a back-to-back 18-game winner in 2005 and 2006.

Twins probable pitcher

Boof Bonser

  • #26 RHP
  • (0-0) -.-- ERA 0 SO
Having shed 25 pounds during the offseason, Bonser is looking to prove that he can pitch deeper into games than he did in 2007. The right-hander suffered a bit of a setback in his sophomore season when he struggled to make it past the fifth or sixth innings of his starts. While his stamina hasn't really been tested yet, Bonser showed more life on his fastball and snap on his breaking pitches this spring.
