Freddy Garcia

In Jon Heyman's latest column, he lists the Rangers amongst a host of teams that watched Garcia throw twenty five pitches recently. Now, it could be that the Rangers were mentioned just because Garcia is a pitcher or they could have legitimate interest. I could see him coming in for a rest-of-season deal if the Rangers remain competitive but I thought I would give people a chance to discuss Garcia in a Rangers uniform on a slow off day.

With him being a pitcher that has had some success, of course he's worth a look

Whether it would be a good idea to sign him is another story entirely. Jason Jennings comes to mind… but so does Bartolo Colon (as long as he never swings the bat).

ponson is a better comp than jennings

not in terms of how they’ll perform but in terms of what kind of risk they were taking by taking him on.

I thought the problem with Garcia was an injury instead of behavior

well

ponson was also thought to be physically unable to play – in the sense that he was too fat.

Garcia has a reputation for drinking...

vodka out of paper cups instead of water during games in which he’s pitching. I’m not kidding.

A former teammate of Garcia.

He shall remain nameless.

What is with all the mysterious inside info on LSB recently?

Between JParks and a couple of others, this might as well be a secret society we’re talking about here.

Does this mean we all get secret LSB underpants?

Psssstt!!!

Why is Parks getting credit my super secret info? I’m the mysterious one, dammit!

No kidding

I’m in the secret society but I’m often blindfolded and forced to drink the blood of 16 year Dominican pitching prospects.

We're not talking about it.

No one is. Ever. And that’s how we like it.

Sign HIm

when I mentioned Lohse and Colon nobody wanted them, and I think we gave Jennings more than both of them combined! Who cares if he never throws a pitch in the TBIA sign him to the minimum and get started on some rehab assignments, these deals are NO LOSE. NO LOSE NO LOSE!
