I guess most people would speculate that Garcia is a goner. He got blasted yesterday over in Orlando by some major league and minor league Braves in the Mets loss 7-4. Speaking of which the Mets made it interesting going into the 9th down 7-2 made it 7-4 on a 2 out 2 home run by little Andy Green and then loaded the bases . Castro then grounded out. Can he be any slower?
Ok so we are chatting about Garcia here. Yes he got bombed but the Mets do not have a wealth of pitchers to go for the 5th spot if Mr Livan goes down sides Jon Niese. I say keep the guy for another week at least and see how he performs next time and see if everyone is healthy. If he can only make the big bucks if he makes the team and he has a minor league deal let him pitch in St Lucie for now. Maybe you can get in his head that he can work on his stuff in the minor leagues or covert him to a reliever. Fear of course is a big factor here. I do not want to see articles in a month when Livan gets hurt about who the fifth starter is . Keep Garcia for another week or 2 . What is the harm? Of course Shawn Hill was just released from the Nationals as we documented below. Stand pat for now Omar let the ship sail for another week.

Shawn Hill would be an excellent pick up. The Mets can do more damage with Hill than Garcia.
