Chris Garcia

Is he hurt again? Despite starting off this year reasonably well in AA (striking out a ton of batters, only giving up 1 HR in 25 IP, but walking a ton for a respectable FIP), he's hasn't pitched for almost a month. Garcia has very good stuff, including a curveball that is the best in the system according to BA, and a changeup who some think is better than his curveball, as well as a fastball that used to be in the mid-90s, but even in the year right after his TJ surgery was in the low 90s, but will Garcia ever remain healthy enough to make the majors? Is he simply a lost case, or is he a terrific buy-low candidate?

Done for the season with more elbow problems

I’m skeptical that he’ll ever be able to pitch at the major league level due to his constant injury problems. Maybe a shift to the bullpen would allow him to contribute, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if he never pitched again.
