Despite limited experience in the high minors -- he has played just 55 games above Class A ball -- the righty-hitting Garcia held his own while seeing most of his action against southpaws down the stretch and in the postseason. Aside from his iffy plate discipline, Garcia offers a little bit of everything -- he hit .333 with 14 homers and 23 steals across two levels in 2012 -- which makes him an intriguing plug-and-play outfielder in AL-only leagues if he winds up platooning with Andy Dirks in left field. Garcia would benefit from more developmental time, but the Tigers are known for pushing their top young players.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-2.5,"playerRater15DAY":-1,"positionRank":142}
