They get an immediate infielder upgrade and abreau improves their offense against right handed pitchers! Garcia gives them a nice prospect with some power. (Something they lack)
And yoshida should help them with ticket sales as there is a large Asian population out there.
plus they unload garver !!!!
win-win
I imagine our baseball analytics department has profiles on all pitchers (pro and minor leagues) it will be interesting to see who bres-slow targets this offseason for the bullpen.
his first signing was a bit of a head scratcher
There used to be an unwritten rule that when a pitcher exceeds his total innings pitched by X% in year one, there was regression in year 2!
we could have regression from some starters
