Garcia might be the biggest sleeper in the system. He began to make progress in 2001, his fifth year as a pro, despite his 5-10 record. He already had a promising fastball and slider, then added a splitter to give him strikeout potential. He has yet to show much in the way of an offspeed pitch, but hitters still didn't have much success against him last year. Garcia moved to the bullpen in 2001 but shifted back to the rotation at midseason and posted a 3.86 ERA as a starter. He continued to pitch well in the Panamanian winter league this offseason and still has a good deal of projectability. The Rangers are considering moving him back to the bullpen this year in Double-A, where he'll try to further refine his splitter.
