Rangers interested in Freddy Garcia

Freddy Garcia pitched a bullpen session in front of scouts for 15 teams or so yesterday.  MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez says the Rangers are among the teams most interested.

Of all the teams at least taking a look at Garcia, the Mets, Tigers -- with a lot of Venezuelan players on the roster and Carlos Guillen being a good friend of Garcia's -- Rays -- who, as Greenberg said, "have really stayed in touch" -- and Rangers appear to be among the most interested.

If I'm reading that right, and I'd like to think I am, the Mets, Tigers, Rays, and Rangers are the most interested.  It doesn't sound like he impressed the scouts all that much.

"He's still at 80 percent," one scout said. "He's still easing his way into his rehab.

"He doesn't seem to me to be a this-year guy."

I asked if anyone is interested in the comments of a post yesterday and no one was interested.  The article doesn't exactly make me want to start a campaign for the guy.  I wonder if he would consider pitching some games for the Fort Worth Cats (a la Hochevar) just to prove he can still do it.
