Garcia Chooses The Amazins

According to Doug Miller of MLB.com, Freddy Garcia has agreed with the Mets on a minor league contract. Garcia could earn between $8 million and $9 million with incentives in 2009 if he makes the club in Spring Training, the report said.

From my earlier post:

I believe based on Garcia's past performance, he would make for an admirable insurance policy for the back end of the rotation. In short, bring on an incentive laden, minor league contract.

Now let's go out and sign Sheets or Ollie (Sheets is my preference), and move aggressively towards adding lightning to go with our mediocre lineup after the five spot. Can you say Adam Dunn? I know you can.
