This is true, but "see if he has a future" is a pretty rapid judgment for a guy who's not even 22. I don't think we'd be having this discussion if the team had anyone else who looked like even a passable stopgap at SS in MLB. Things are so bad that DSG got some run there!
People seem to be forgetting that Garcia also OPSed nearly 1.000 in AAA last year but was terrible defensively at SS. Frankly, last year's MLB offensive showing from him is viable at SS, as long as the defense is there. I'm sure he'll be up later in the year, but if it were my call I'd wait at least another month or so for him to build confidence on defense. Look at what happened with Kieboom for the bad outcome here.
Low pressure MLB is still infinitely more pressure than AAA, and it's really important to the team that this dude stick long-term. The next two months don't matter at all.
June 1 seems fine. Even mid June. I don’t think a comparison with Kieboom is fair. The latter seems to be a special case of a major prospect flop. Dominic Brown-like.
