There was a time when Adonis Garcia was considered a hot prospect by the New York Yankees.
That was back in 2012, when, at 27, he was signed out of Cuba. He rose through the system up to Triple-A in one year.
But the bloom began to come off the rose at the end of 2014, when he did not get a callup in September, despite hitting .319 with nine homers and 45 RBIs at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He was released at the end of Spring Training 2015, a victim of a numbers game both at third and in the outfield.
