What concerns me about Garcia is that he is pitching like he's waiting for Andy Pettitte to return and losing his spot in the rotation is a far gone conclusion. Let's face it, when the Yankees announced Pettitte's return, Freddy didn't attend the Welcome Back Andy dinner.
Baseball is full of personal do or die moments in a player's career. Whether it's pitching for your spot in the rotation or in the hitting line up. Times when a player has to dig down deep and find the ability and talent that got them to the majors in the first place.
Freddy has a few more starts to prove he belongs in the rotation. He has to put his pride aside and just pitch. There is a difference between playing with determination and playing pissed off. For his sake, I hope Freddy stops playing pissed. Because if not, Freddy is not only in jeopardy of losing his spot, but losing his pinstripes.
