Hitting .380 in AAA means he's good at baseball, in my opinion, and not just an athlete
Listen, guys. Fathom likes Avisail. I think that tells you all you need to know
I would be very surprised if we don't have a plan to get Garcia in the lineup muy pronto. He doesn't have much to prove in AAA imo. This has to motivate us to move Rios

Viciedo's on his usual progression. Starting to figure out RH pitchers and showing more patience after repeating a level. Still love the kids potential.
His recent play against righties has been EXTREMELY encouraging

My fear is that Avisail Garcia is the next Dayan Viciedo with some defensive value.
Don't forget that Dayan Viciedo may still figure things out. Imagine that LF/RF combo if they get anywhere near their potential

There are more players involved than just Peavy going to Bos; Garcia to CWS & Iglesias to Det;waiting for minor leaguers to be told by teams

What a bad trade by the Tigers
As presented, it sure seems that way. Garcia and "a MLB pitcher" for Iglesias only?
QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:16 PM)
I'm more worried about what our system would do to Garcia than Garcia himself.
He may be with the big league club...

You guys should really slow your roll and wait until the deadline passes...
But that's not how we do things!!
