What is it that Eppler/Ausmus see in Garcia?

Eppler said they liked him because "he can miss bats."  Which at the time I translated from GM-speak to "They both suck but he has more talent than Alvarez."

And yet, fewer Ks than innings pitched so far

What did Billy see?

Garcia fit the budget.

don't worry guys! i tried him out on 2k19 to see what the deal was with..well after playing 1.5 years in franchise mode, he was one of the 2 better reliever... Him and Buttery. So just like Billy and Co, 2k19 saw something in him............... it just hasn't work out in real life.

also did get into next year, and bad news we missed out on Cole sad face. But  was able to sign  Bumgarner (7yrs/100 mil), will Smith (4/40) and than i wasted money on Donaldson (1/16mil)...so yeah 2k19 at least told me that we'll sign a front of the rotation guy, but after half a season my teams is in 4th place yeah...and Bumgarner has been pitching like ace...

 

So yeah this what i got from 2k19.

Garcia's peripherals are awful. 6.05 FIP, 2.0 HR/9, 4.8 BB/9, and a .288 BABIP which suggests he's actually been slightly lucky.

He sucks massive dong. Please don't let him be in the bullpen next year.

Truly a special pitcher. So happy to have him on the roster getting put in for high stakes moments every other game. What a blessing to have him as a the main option.

They didnt suck before this year. He's on another level.
