If you paid any attention to the preseason player projections for the Braves, you know that they have not been particularly kind to the roster. At many positions, the Braves’ crop of position players and pitchers is ranked towards the bottom of the league. However, only one position was projected to be the worst in MLB: that of third base, to be primarily manned by Adonis Garcia.
Garcia has been somewhat of an enigma in his 800-plus plate appearances with the Braves, albeit a fairly uninteresting one, like misplacing your glasses. After defecting from Cuba, he spent three years in the Yankees’ minor league system, topping out with a 127 wRC+ while repeating AAA in 2014.
