New Idea for the Rotation

I was talking to my friend about the pitching situation and he brought something up very very interesting. He brought up the idea of Jon Garland for the Yankees. At first I was worried about how he bounced around from Chicago to Los Angeles of Anaheim to Arizona and back to Los Angeles (of Los Angeles) but then he told me to look at the stats. He compared him to John Lackey and so will I. Before you look at the numbers realize that Garland has pitched 1 more full season than Lackey.

John Lackey: 102 Wins, 71 Loses, 3.81 ERA, 14 Complete Games, 1501 Innings, 1519 Hits, 702 Runs, 636 Earned Runs, 151 Homeruns, 441 Walks, 1201 Strikeouts, and 1.31 WHIP

Jon Garland: 117 Wins, 102, Loses, 4.42 ERA, 10 Complete Games, 1829.1 Innings, 1944 Hits, 992 Runs, 898 Earned Runs, 228 Homeruns, 593 Walks, 960 Strikeouts, and 1.39 WHIP

These two guys are pretty much equal with the clear edge going to Lackey. If you look year to year Lackey is a more dominant force than Garland. However the Yankees rotation is not in need of a number 2 pitcher. We already have our number 1 and 2 pitchers for the next 4 years. What we really need is a solid 3 or 4 depending on where we decide to put Pettitte which I suspect would be 3. So for a 4 started Jon Garland would be a perfect fit.
