Ugh. Dear God, please no. I hated watching him flounder in every appearance with the Mariners only to light people up on the White Sox and Phils.

Excuse me, what?

Garcia's ERAs with Seattle: 4.07, 3.91, 3.05 (ERA title, 3rd in CYA vote), 4.39, 4.51, 3.20

Garcia's ERAs with Chicago: 4.46, 3.87, 4.53

Garcia's ERA with Philly: 5.90 (in 11 starts, followed by a season-ending injury).

In Philly he was the one getting lit up. (Believe me, I drafted him for my fantasy draft and thought I was getting a bargain who could be rejuvenated in the NL. Hah.)

Anyway, he's damaged goods and will never again be what he once was. I'd be cool with them signing him to a minor-league deal and letting him compete with R.A. Dickey for a spot on the staff, but no more than that. I certainly wouldn't count on him making the rotation.

I have a severe anti-Garcia bias, but I still don't want him back.

They really need to get their asses back in trade talks. There aren't any pitchers worth a damn on the free agent market.

Yes, I'd love for Felix to have his idol back on the M's so Felix can pick up all Freddy's good habits.

Late-night Sonic's runs?

I'm all for having a role model for Felix, someone he can really relate to. If only there were a good Venezuelan pitcher on the trade market. Hmm.
