Ok, I'm going to make this very clear....
Spring training statistics mean nothing for the most part. But I will say this about Freddy Garcia:
1) He hasn't exactly lit it up the last four years.
2) His velocity is way down. That cannot be disputed.
3) Dan Hudson is a solid prospect
IF---again IF---Freddy is bad (forget about the record) his first 6-8 starts, and Dan Hudson is everything he was last year his first 6-8 starts, I don't think they will hesitate to pull the plug on Freddy. If they think Hudson gives them a better chance to win, Freddy will be gone.
What you say makes sense, but also as YOU say ST is not the place to make roster change decisions. But, 6 starts into the regular season might be a time
