At the end of last year Garcia pitched decent.
What we stand to gain with Hudson doing well, is offset by what we stand to lose if Hudson gets decimated.
I can remember in 2003 when the then flavor of the month pitcher Neal Cotts was brought up during the stretch run. I can remember him going to Yankee stadium, .1 IP, 5 er, 4bb. He has only started 1 game after that in his career. His stats in 2003 in AA prior to call up, 2.16 era, 21gs, 108.1 ip, 67hits, 26er, 2hr, 56bb, 133k.
Hudson has 56ip in AA, just saying.
I disagree. If Hudson gets his ass kicked he can try again next year. If Garcia screws up, he can probably just retire.
