Forget the 3.62 ERA Freddy Garcia notched in 2011, he got fairly lucky. The 35-year-old righthander totaled just 96 strikeouts in 146 2/3 innings. I don't know about you, but I don't target pitchers who can't miss bats, pitch roughly half their games in Yankee Stadium and pitch a significant number of games against potent American League East lineups (more specifically Boston and Toronto). He's due for some potentially significant regression in 2012.

Agree 100%.
