April 5, 200521 yr Notes: Garcia's velocity has returned Right-hander will not be overused as in the past While his spring ERA of 6.41 doesn't seem to instill a great deal of confidence, Garcia brushed off the Arizona numbers. He pointed to Cactus League play simply as a time to work on his craft. His fastball has regained the missing velocity, with Garcia throwing consistently at 92 to 94 mph. He's also eager to pitch in front of what he perceives to be a better infield defense and a stronger team. Edited April 5, 200521 yr by Jabroni
April 5, 200521 yr I hope so. Garcia's fastball will look real fast when pitching in between MB and El Duque.

April 5, 200521 yr I'm sure Freddy will be hoping to take the next step this year, and to do that, he's going to have to pitch better at home and not give up as many home runs. We need him to win 15 games or more to contend in this division.

Garland I think we'll match up pretty well against the Twins this weekend pitching wise. Should be: Friday: El Duque vs. Lohse Saturday: Garland vs. Mays Sunday: Buehrle vs. Radke

April 5, 200521 yr I heard it was because they wanted Santana to start the Home Opener, but I may be wrong.

April 6, 200521 yr QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 12:00 PM) a bit of thanks for radke is the reason Thanks
