    He looks like a fat Will Smith playing a woman.

    Whatever, I don’t expect him to pick even a decade. As long as he can bring it until free agency.

    He is taking the Lance McCullers rehab road it appears.

    How often do ball clubs switch health service providers/team doctors?

    Soreness can come from anything. Let's just hope it's some scar tissue or other common injury that goes along with ramping up from a long layoff.

    Pitchers just get hurt a lot - and sometimes really good ones.

    The Astros aren't the only team with issues like this --- the Dodgers and Braves both have had young pitchers that have lost promising careers to injury.

    From what I have seen from Garcia since his injury, I am never counting on him to be a big part of the Astros plans again. He doesn't stay in shape, he isn't a bad person but lacks the attention to detail and physical health most guys that bounce back from real injuries need.

    At least the Astros haven't given him a big extension.

    It's sad to see a dude that if he got his body right and was healthy so he could actually recover from his injury he could be on a path for life changing money. Even middle of the rotation starters are getting 20 mil a year these days. Instead he looks to be pounding whataburger on the regular. Probably strained his elbow lifting a triple meat to his face.

    Look how old man Verlander attacked his rehab and came out winning the damn Cy Young. Garcia didn't learn a thing and instead showed up looking like a whale at spring training.
