Freddy Garcia Today, 2013

[clapdiddy]

Garcia is making the O's think long and hard about whether they want to lose him. Though he pitched well according to his pitching line Charlotte is a pretty bad team right now. I think Stinson gets his shot and how long is stays with the O's depends on how he pitches. Could be one start. Could be more. Interesting situation to follow. On the 40 man, Exposito may be the most vulnerable to be DFA'd. Then again is Stinson blows up today he could be DFA'd.

I'm thinking if they need to add him to the 40-man that Zach Clark might be the guy DFA'd.

I agree. Clark should pass through waivers at this point.

So far, it looks like Garcia's stuff is translating just fine in the majors:) to all the haters....told you so (so far, LOL). But so far much better than watching the same cast of characters struggle.
