I remember him pitching pretty well for the Yankees a few years back too so he has the potential to be decent.

Nothing special, hopefully he can be a solid part of the rotation/bullpen but we shall see. I like the signing considering how little pitching is available.

he was an all-star with the rockies, but he has problems with his control, but i hope he pans out in our thin rotation

So apparently Garcia still isn't signed. I wouldn't mind us grabbing him, he should come cheap so it's a low risk move. If he's healthy he can still be "decent"(you never know). It sure wouldn't hurt considering our lack of depth in the rotation and the thin availability of pitching left out there.

Is there any pitcher in Round Rock or Corpus Christi worth moving up?
