Chisoxfn Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Thrilled with Garcia. Guy has a great hit tool and that is something the Sox are severely lacking. Plus he's got solid speed and solid defensive skills. I think the power will come and he's been raking in AAA. Really really pleased with him being the top guy (I liked him more then a lot of the other offensive names thrown around as the top guy in a package). Interested in seeing who the other 3 guys coming are. My assumption is we will get a few pretty high-upside raw guys and I'm very exstatic about that. Boston has a great farm system and some really nice young players who the Sox could grab (and hopefully develop). If we are getting s*** back, then my opinion might change, however, I really like Garcia. I almost crapped myself when I first read Garcia and MIddlebrooks...that would have been incredible.

TaylorStSox Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I have to think that Hahn took so long because he has deals he likes for Ramirez and Rios. I wouldn't be surprised to hear about them in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the fact he's raking in AAA makes me happy. He's actually a prospect with a chance. Kind of like Dayan when he was a prospect - a guy we all felt deep down had a chance to be special. It's not too late for Dayan obviously. But this is not like bringing up some clown; Garcia at least has credentials and at 22 is ready for the bigs which is very nice.

Not sure if it has been posted but his awful batting average is in part due to him trying to become a switch hitter supposedly. After never trying before. So lets take thatfor whats it worth. I believe where I read that, they said that there is "lots of life" in his bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
