tonight i did not have to watch freddy garcia pitch a great game or look up his BORING INDEX to determine that he is a pretty rad pitcher. i have watched him pitch plenty this year and throughout his career and i have come to this conclusion: dude is a good ass pitcher.
it starts with his mind set and it ends with his ability to locate pitches. this guy has lived through only ups and downs. his birth and rebirth and maybe even rebirth birth leave me with this same conclusion: dude is a bad ass. he throws the ball where he wants to at a speed that is disruptive to a hitter. mission accomplished. of course, like anyone, when he's missing his spots and bad he gets beat up, but overall, more than anything else, he has been a valuable asset to a conceptually shaky starting rotation. i would like to cease all calls for an upgrade. you can't find a better alternative than what he's been doing all year unless your name is weaver, or halliday, or gallardo or something. any team would love this out of a number two starter even. it's not too young, it's not too sexy but the results are the same and i'll take it everyday.
