(Did you know that he's one of two -- I think -- MLB players in the history of the game to have every vowel in his last name?) Doesn't mean he'll be great or even good, but he has a better history than any of the retreads we currently employ in the minors. Well, Garcia has a much better track record than does Figueroa.

The only advantage I see is Garcia starts out on a clean slate. That is the exact reason why Kunz should be closing. For all of the black eyes this bullpen has taken all year, Kunz hasn't been around for it. He is the only one who doesn't get booed when he comes into the game. He is the only one with legit closer experience. He is the only one who hasn't been booed by his fans when he exits a game. I say give the kid a chance. Consider the dead horse beaten to death.
