The Atlanta Braves have been trying to make Adonis Garcia work at third base for close to 2 full seasons now, covering 223 total games.
But it’s well-past time to call it: he hasn’t been very good.
I admire his story, his heart, and his effort… but those things can only go so far on the field of play. On top of that, he’s now 32 years old and not likely to improve from here.
Since 2016 started, there are 35 third basemen with 400+ plate appearance… roughly 2/3rds of the amount needed to qualify for a batting title.
