    I see where he cleared waivers...I know he's slumping, but maybe a change of scenery would do him some good. He's still young....don't know about his salary though.

    any thoughts?

    Slump doesn't do his pitching justice. He's given up 37 earned runs in 36.1 innings over his last 7 starts. That's an era of 9.17
    I'm not confident he can work out of his funk this season and actually help the Astros.

    Nashvegas,

    Where did you see Garcia cleared waivers by chance?

    i was listening to rob dibble on ESPN radio the other day...he was saying that Garcia is an alcoholic who has been confronted by his teammates on numerous occasions. that he is proving to be more trouble than he's worth as a teammate.

    An alcoholic teammate? Bags and Bidge have been there, done that and have the T shirt. Let's not ask them to do it again.

    I said this a couple months ago that Garcia is a drunkard.

    It's cool to see a "report" by my friend who saw Garcia drunk at a bar, actually be confirmed by an ESPN commentator.
