Garcia will be as much of a starter as Lannan or Gorzo were in 2012, maybe less.  The team will be surprised to learn that starter X was available in January or February. You can never have too much competition, they'll say, and bring him into camp.  Garcia will impress, and Johnson will say favorable things.  Then it will come time to make a 25 man roster, and Rizzo will say we want Garcia to stay stretched out so we are sending him to Syracuse. He has options, and it's no reflection on how he pitched this spring.  It was strictly about what is best for the organization, and we opted to go with X for now.
