I agree there are things to be positive about with Garcia. I think the question has just always been for me…..is he more of a middle infielder? To me it is a resounding yes. And that’s ok. So then the simple question becomes…is this team better with one of two scenarios:

1. Move him as a SS to a team that can give you equal value back and also see’s these underlying metrics. Marlins are still the dream scenario.

2. Move Massey and have Garcia play second and a middle infield of Garcia/BWJ.

I totally understand the fact that they don’t have a third baseman to put there so Garcia is for now. That’s fine, but it’s also a bit of a leaking value situation. It works for now, but long term he is more of a middle infielder. I get that if you have the offensive number BWJ gives you…you can certainly play with Garcia at third. But it is also one of those situations that I don’t think you stop looking for an upgrade. Cause if you can have another really solid hitter at third with BWJ…that’s elite.

I don’t think there is a wrong answer. Really just waiting on the FO to move someone at the top half of there value…..Show me you know your players better than other teams kind of deal. That and developing talent are really the two things left to see.
