Buzz: Mets A Likely Suitor For Garcia
Ken Davidoff of Newsday lists possible suitors for Freddy Garcia and ranks the Mets as the likely destination for the veteran right-handed pitcher.
According to Davidoff, the 32-year old Garcia would not be available to pitch until the All-Star break.
Garcia is 117-76 with a 4.07 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP in his nine year career. He appeared in 11 games for the Phillies last season going 1-5 with a 5.90 ERA with 50 strikeouts and 19 walks in 59 innings pitched.
…before his injury and his stint in philly aside, garcia proved he was a quality middle of the rotation type starter…so, if he can prove he is healthy, i see no reason why the Mets shouldn’t look into adding garcia to the mix, especially with the status of Orlando Hernandez in doubt and the questionable durability of Pedro Martinez…
