He's an emotional guy, he's a guy that, sort of like [Carlos] Zambrano, wears those emotions, but he's also a very accomplished pitcher, and one who has done it in the American League East.

Garza is currently positioned as the Cubs third starting pitcher, he'll make his Wrigley Field debut on Sunday agaisnt the Pittsburgh Pirates.
