The Pirates have promoted outfielder Willy Garcia from Altoona to Indianapolis, Cory Giger reports. The Pirates wanted the free-swinging Garcia to work on controlling the strike zone this year, and while his 47:11 K:BB ratio at Altoona was still questionable, he did hit .314 with a .353 OBP there this season. I'm a little skeptical of how he'll do facing higher-level pitching, but he clearly deserves the opportunity.
There is, however, this problem:
Current OF in Indianapolis: Willy Garcia, Keon Broxton, Mel Rojas, Gorkys Hernandez, Jaff Decker. Something has to give.
