Re: Baseball musical chairs? Benitez to Mariners for Nelson.
From the ESPN Seattle webpage:
"If RHP Freddy Garcia continues to falter, he may be moved out of the rotation, the Seattle Time reported. "I don't think the minor leagues are a viable option," pitching coach Bryan Price told the newspaper. "I think you can look at the bullpen as a very temporary alternative. It can clear his mind knowing that he has to get six outs and can see the finish line a little bit easier. … I'd rather see him (pitch better) as a starter, but he's got to show some improvement."
Garcia has been too inconsistent this year - I think Seattle needs to do something with him. He has been a liability to the mariners and even more so now, because the AL race is going to be very tight. They should have sent him down to the minors earlier in the year.
